I completely agree with you BlueCat, it is really up to us young ppl to get involved. We are the ones that are gonna suffer because of whats happening now. Im only 18, and im scared of what is to come of the US. My whole family is concerned, and if things get worse, which im sure it will, we are planning to move to europe. Seems only the democrats REALLY care about this country, because we are actually adressing the real issues, ie: environment, health care, economy, homeland security etc... If you really cared about this country, you would question GW's leadership, and congress's ability to do the right thing for the younger generation, which is what US stands for rite? How can there be an "American Dream", when congress is destroying this country. The ability to question and fight wrong and indecisive decisions is true patriotism!
