The Student Connection - Online Vice President Al Gore and Gov. George W. Bush are both vying for the swing vote in this year's election. The vote from America's youth, which has consistently been the least active group, may make all the difference at the polls on Nov. 7.
People can win elections by the slightest margins.
All summer long, Hampton University students have been actively involved in raising youth awareness about the importance of voting in this coming election. And I think that youth need to know that we can change a lot of things if we get active. As a member of Project Vote, a national organization that strives to improve voter registration for minorities and low-income families, the South Bend, Ind. native, had the opportunity to participate in the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, Calif. in August. Gore and Senator Joe Lieberman both accepted nominations for the 2000 Election there. Angel, also worked in the development office at Project Vote's national headquarters in New York this summer.
