As I was reading my article for our communities project I came across and interesting remark made by a young voter.  It was if his candidate did not make the general election he would consider not voting or vote for the opposing party.  I think is interesting because he said he wouldn't vote which I think is sort of pathetic.  Young people need to vote they need to know and need to be heard.  Because as a young people it is only a matter of time before we become "old" and start running the country.  Also i read an article that said most colleges are very liberal so many young people are only getting one side of politics.  I feel that all a college student needs to do is search a little and they can find many political ideologies.  Also its reassuring that more young people are becoming more active in the political community.  It is about time that young voters lived up to their potential and I think this election will finally be the one.  I would like to find out if it because there is a young candidate for office or if its people really just feel the need to vote.  Whatever it is if people vote it will most likely benefit the country.
