And you know, from my experience this generation looks at life differently than others, so running for office or the hill may not be the best way to participate in service. I would be interested to hear what you have to say. What are the Biggest Barriers to participate in politics and why are young people not doing it more .

So if youve got access to that kind of money, credit could use it too. Senator leahy preach to the converted, all of you do.
