Candidates Give Groundbreaking Answers to Youth Concerns; Free e-Books to Increase Voter Turn Out; Roots Where First Americans Died to Vote Thanks for considering this media release for The New Voters Project Presidential Youth Debate. It's buffet-style, touting these hard-and-soft news hooks: 1) Bush, Kerry and Nader have answered, and rebutted, the 12 greatest concerns of young Americans, and the candidates gave responses that hadn't before been given, including answers regarding electoral and voting reform, the execution of minors and a drug provision in the Higher Education Act that the candidates deemed discriminatory, in their responses, and pledged to change. Also, for the first time in history, the candidates answered one question asked and chosen by 13-17 year-old "Future Voters" as their greatest concern. 2) We're providing Americans of all ages two free, downloadable e-books to help increase voter turnout: 1) "Why I Vote: The Best Reasons Americans Say They'll Turn Out to Vote - And Why You Should Too" which features reasons from 13-74 year olds (available on request); and 2) "Bush, Kerry and Nader, in 30 Clicks or Less: All the Nonpartisan Resources You Need to Make Your Own Informed Choice." 3) As founder of the Presidential Youth Debates, I've secured answers to youth concerns from the top candidates every Election since 1996. I'm as disenfranchised as the next young American, but have that extra push to participate in the Election because I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, watching Patriot's Day re-enactments of the first Americans dying in battle for my right to vote. - I have digital print-ready photos I can email (debate photos of candidates, debate logo, photo of me - the debate founder). - 2004-10-31
