If you have 20 seconds, I have listed 20 issues that “might” be important enough to get unlikely voters to the polls in November or “might” get everyone over 18 years old to register. Would you be so kind as to peruse the list and help political eggheads/nerds know what you think is vital to your family—past, present, and future.  People who use words like “peruse” shouldn’t create the issues list—real citizens should. 

To the abovementioned eggheads, the sky is falling on this nation and our region like Chicken Little said. When you produce too much political commentary, people don’t know when it’s really, really dire.  Best believe, we are at a pivotal point in American history.  This list is a policy skeleton or framework. Hopefully, we will consider these issues and items over the Summer and Fall so we can be well-informed voters with developed opinions by Election Day in November or early voting. 

The cross generational aspect for me involves two or three generations of a family discussing voting because grandmother remembers the bad old days when our community was systematically oppressed. They fought hard for the right to vote and participate in representative government on the local, state and federal levels.  If the under 30 demographic continues to blow off voting, the South will be run by folks who are as nasty as they want to be and who romanticize the Jim Crow era.  That’s scary. Kids who can’t vote (the future) deserve better opportunities and a fair chance at the good life.

To put meat on the skeleton’s bones slowly, a series of short (five minutes) video discussions are coming. From the 20 issues below, how many are really important in your opinion?
