Dear Young Voters: This Is What You Get When You Don’t Vote
Much of the focus on this blog has been about reaching out to win over young voters. However, in my hometown of Pittsburgh, recent developments are demonstrating exactly what happens when young voters don’t show up to the polls. As you may know, Pittsburgh’s economy has gone from its reliance upon the steel industry to [...]
The Youth Vote and the 2009 Elections
Sarah Burris of Future Majority beats me to the punch in rebutting a blog post about a “Rising Tide of the GOP Youth,” as described by The Weekly Standard‘s Rachel Hoff.

Why a 2010 Blowout Will Not Mean Things Are Better
After the 2002 and 2004 elections, Republicans celebrated electoral victories that many thought would put them in the position to maintain a long-term majority.

Once Again, the RNC Stands Pat While the DNC Innovatively Involves Young Voters

Recognizing this, the team here at NextGenGOP has launched the Petition for Our Future. Now you can join the many voices asking Chairman [...]
Let’s Give Young Voters a Legitimate Role in the Future of the Republican Party
Over at FutureMajority.com, Michael Connery brings attention to this: Want to be a member of the Democratic National Committee? The DNC Youth Council is now accepting resumes from young people interested in becoming At-Large members. What exactly is an at-large member of the DNC? At-large members are full-scale, policy-shaping members of the Democratic National Committee [...]
The “Far Right,” The Filibuster-Proof Majority, and Young Voters
Over at left-of-center Mother Jones magazine, Jonathan Stein and Nick Baumann argue that “the far right handed Dems a 60-vote majority.” Stein and Baumann continue: The Republican Party has moved dramatically rightward in the age of Obama, and allowed people like Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sarah Palin to become its [...]
Hope Exists in the Country Amidst a Lack of Change in Washington
While the President of the United States spent his weekend validating much of the negative campaign rhetoric launched against him last year, the Maryland Federation of College Republicans held their annual convention. I was among those fortunate enough to attend said convention. As an attendee to that convention, I witnessed firsthand the real potential that exists among young [...]
