I agree, but let's not rush to blame "the youth". "The youth" has been writing and emailing and calling Congress to tell them we care about this issue but it's not like they really listen to their constituents when so much campaign money is on the line.

I'd guess that less than .00001% of the youth, or any other generation has written to congress.
Careful on the zeros... .00001% of 318,900,000 people (current population of America) is 31.89 people, and even rounded I suppose they get a few more than that.
Ah yes, the percent tripped me up. I was thinking maybe a few thousand letters.
