Bob- Excellent letter. I hope HS Junior will read this man words - will there be a shortened text or tiktok version ? :>) Seriously, how about the civics center website you cited, will they help distribute? I'll bet Jess Craven will have some suggestions fo where to send it. Also Simon Rosenberg; he's already identified upping the youth vote as a key to '24.
Outstanding. If each one of us convinces just a few young people to vote next year (and hopefully every year after) the tide will turn in America. There will be a Blue Tsunami. Unstoppable. Why? Because this next generation (mostly) doesn't buy into the authoritarian bigotry being preached by the fascists.
If I was a principle looking for a graduation speaker to deliver this message I'd pick a respected local citizen, ideally the parent of one of the prospective graduates/voters. Most definitely not a politician as their stock is deservedly low right now, just someone who could talk person to person and voter to voter.
If I wasn't already registered, I'd be on the way after reading your presentation.
Thanks, Dave. I'm not sure how to reach a parent at every school though. Even 100 Senators and 435 Congresspeople would be quite a challenge. I agree with you that their stock is low, and partisanship would probably creep in as a motive. Maybe a respected apolitical public personality (if there is such a person)?
I'm not sure how either Bob but you've made a start here and perhaps people like Heather, Bob Hubbell, Jessica Cravens, and Kareem are the best routes for furthering the argument.

More from me on this. I applaud your letter!
