the candidates mainly target middle age and senior citizens talking about taxes, medicare, retirement plans, etc and forget all about the younger crowd. what do you feel are the key issues that would affect 18-25 year olds and would get them to vote in elections?

social security..... and its gradual dissolution. It's very problematic since the gov't signed a contract with our grandparents but now it's increasingly unable to keep up its end of the deal. It needs to be phased out completely while still not kicking old people out into the street. It will be very tough but it's completely necessary unless we eventually want to pay 20% or higher SS tax.

lol. Most 18-25 year olds don't vote... hence theres no need to target them. The biggest issues you should be looking at are...

Social Security
The possible war in Iraq

There not much thats going to affect you immediately. I'm 20. I vote for the least shadiest of them... I can give a sh1t about if they are a democrat or republican.
