Media Hype?

I was watching the Today Show this morning and caught another story about 2008 being the year of the youth vote. While it is certainly easy to get caught up in media hype, I truly believe that this is the year that youth will make a difference.

What is so inspiring about Generation Y is their committment to politics and their genuine interest in the well-being of America.

It is also amazing that this generation has no interest in continuing the partisan fights of yesterday. This generation is ready to turn the page and is truly ready to solve the problems that confront us all today. This is a generation of pragmatic idealists.

And that is why Generation Y is also Generation Obama. Senator Obama truly understands that America needs to heal and move forward. This generation is not seeking compromise on the issues that matter, but we are asking for a new way. We are asking for a successful government that can provide true solutions for the people.

I am proud to be a member of Generation Y and Generation Obama.
