How are president candidates reaching out to our teens today?

Question

The candidates for president of the united states usually reach out to adults. So how are the reaching out to teens. Their decisions affect them also.

President candidates are still trying to reach out to teens. Whether they can vote or not. How are they reaching out?

Answer 1

They don't need to reach out to teens. Teens can't vote; their parents can. 18- and 19-year-olds can vote; they just don't.

Answer 2

They are reaching out to those that can vote. They are reaching out to the younger crowd by promoting themselves on the internet and going on shows like the Daily Show.

Answer 3

Unfortunately a large majority of people have no clue about the history of our government, most are "sheep", they hear a politician that caters to a pie in the sky wish of their particular special interest and wa-la, for many that is the politician for them. In this vein we have created generations of "give me" voters. People willing to allow the government to steal from one class of people to give to another through taxation.

There are very few politicians that don't have an angle on gaining and maintaining power.
I am a staunch libertarian fiscal conservative. I am of the mindset, people who don't provide the following information in a pre-polling registration should not be allowed to vote.

1st I don't believe K12 or public colleges should allow a person to graduate without 1st taking a profiency test in the founding documents. These include the following:

1. Federalist/Anti Federalist Papers
2. Articles of Conferation
3. Declaration of Independence
4. US Constitution
5. The Bill of Rights (1st 10 Amendments)

I believe part of this should be an essay question that outlines the illegality of the 16th and 17th amendment.

Until they pass this test no person should be allowed to vote in any election.

Voting should be for those who understand the costs associated with a bloated government, these costs are not strictly financial, they come on the guise of freedoms usurped through power of the political elite.

Less government is better, no government is best. That said, Government as originally intended was established to provide communities with roads, sewer infrastructures, and the federal government was limited to treaties, international concerns, roads and defense.
Individual liberties remained paramount above government.

I think if we as voters were to keep this in mind at the polls, we'd look at candidates much differently.

As I tell my son, a sophomore in High school be a skeptic and be concerned and involved about government. I ask him to tell me that if he hears someone spewing forth political vomit to do some research and see exactly the cost of the vomit and who will pay.

Politicians gain power through re-distribution wealth through legalized theft from one class of people to another. Only a very small amount of the "taxation" covers the cost of the "common" good.

If you have children or educate children, teach them how to think critically. Some educators don't know how to think critically. That is the scary part for parents who turn their child over to a government school and the teachers don't know how to educate the process of critical thought.

"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods."[H. L. Mencken]
