Young folks and Presidential candidates

Has there ever been a greater divide? It seems too many of today's young folks are disengaged, especially in elections. However, this Saturday these two groups (16-30 year olds and Presidential candidates) will be found interacting digitally at Wake Tech Community College.

Generation Engage, an NC Conservation Network affiliate, is hosting an iChat converation with 2008 Presidential Candidates on Saturday, October 27. Young adults from Raleigh and San Jose, California will connect via Apple's iChat videoconference technology with Republican and Democratic candidates gathered at the National Rural Summit in Ames, Iowa.

Generation Engage is focused on connecting young leaders to political leaders, to other civic organizations, and to meaningful debate about the future they will inherit. And what a great way to do so - by hosting a forum for young folks to interact with our Presidential candidates (who often seem like they aren't even in the same universe).
