Facebook is the Next Big Thing for Stover!

Danny Stover is making a direct bid for the youth vote. Yesterday, following in Evan Bayh's footsteps, Mr. Stover made his very own profile on Facebook, the popular networking website used mostly by College students, and by some high schools and businesses as well.

He states in the "About Me" section:

Students and young people across the nation are being written off by politicians and candidates. They'll say that young people are apathetic, that they don't vote, that it's too expensive to reach them. I do not believe any of these assertions - I know for a fact that my election and the success of progressive values rely upon the support and work of the students and young people in my district.


Stover is on the right track when it comes to communicating with young people. Studies show that, in order to reach the young voters, you have to bring the discussion to them, through their own forms of communication. Using facebook to reach college students and other young people may seem like a small step, but could pay off in big ways in November.

They also show that, when given as much information as possible, when included in every step of the process, when approached directly and openly on their turf, young people will get out the vote, and they'll vote for progressive values by a wide margin.

Dan understands the importance of the youth in his district, and feels strongly about reaching them and involving them in the campaign.
