Together we can change anything we choose. Generation Net (http://www.GenerationNet.org) is a unique new nonprofit using the Internet to give young people a voice in shaping the laws that affect our lives. Young people from around the country are coming together, signing up as members -- this is critical -- under the site's "Join" link, and democratically choosing their top priority national issues. A financial contribution for membership is optional. This fall, Generation Net will coordinate a nonpartisan grassroots advocacy campaign injecting our members' top issues into Congressional races around the country and challenging politicians to make a serious commitment to our issues, playing candidates off one another and working with the news media to generate accountability. Generation Net's issue survey is unlike any other: if your top issues aren't on the list, you can add them, and every visitor after you can choose among yours along with the others. This way everyone's ideas have a chance to attract substantial support, without having to be approved in a back room somewhere. Spread the word! The results we can achieve depend on people joining as members. This is our chance to make a difference together.
