With all this talk of kids getting more and more political (including an item I just read today about elementary school kids kneeling while PERFORMING the national anthem at a ball game), I took some time just now to go back and watch an old movie called "Wild in the Streets," made back in the late '60's. It's a pretty terrible movie, but is a relevant and interesting story about how young people in the US get behind a young, charismatic leader. This young leader manages to take over an effort from a Congressman who is in favor of reducing the voting age from 21 to 18. However, this young charismatic guy manages to get enough young people (between the ages of 21 to 25) involved in voting to actually get the voting age reduced from 21 down to 14 years old! Then the movie moves on to even stranger (but not totally unbelievable) territory from there. Like I said: "interesting." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_in_the_Streets

Anyway, no real point to all that, other than to say that motivated and involved youth in politics (or any large block group for that matter, especially when guided by experienced political activist groups) can be something we need to be wary of, and prepared to do battle against (figuratively speaking, of course).

I've written both my US Senators and my US Representative (again), and will do so yet again soon. I'm already an NRA member, and have also sent an extra financial contribution to NRA-ILA. So what else can we do to help win this "battle?"
