Reflections from WSU

I spent four days at Washington State University last week hanging out and talking with my fellow students, to learn more about what issues are  most important to them. I met with a couple Greek houses, and student groups and told them what the Student Freedom Project had to offer, and how only they could change the direction our nation is headed. From talking with the lovely ladies at Delta Delta Delta, i hear concerns about some of the new taxes that are heading their way such as an increase in the cost of tanning and an increase in tuition and student fees. Money and the increases in cost of living, seem to be the most common issues that face college students today.

Overall the statistic and information about what is happening in our state and in our national, came as a great surprise to many. Not many if any of the students i talked with frequently watch the news or read the paper. Many of them are not even registered to vote. The information i was giving them seem to be the first time they were exposed to that information. This all gave me a lot to think about. How will i get the students the information they need to be informed about their nation. Also how do i get the student to register to vote, and prove to them that their voice matters? 

With November just around the corner, and so much riding on this election, i wonder if i will have time to get the college community on board. Will i have success in getting my generation in the fight before its too late....
