Young people say they plan to vote at near-historic highs
According to a poll from the Harvard University Institute of Politics, a high number of young voters could turn out in the 2018 midterm elections. The poll showed that 40 percent of 18-to 29-year olds said they will “definitely” vote in the 2018 midterm elections. This is a substantial increase from previous years. Oh Lordy, let’s hope so! https://www.vox.com/…/young-people-vote-harvard-poll-2018-m…
Young people nationwide are going to walk out of class on November 6th and head to the polls to vote en mass. We can promote and support this effort by using the hashtag #WalkOutToVote in our social media posts and encouraging our friends and family members to spread the word!https://walkouttovote.org

New Information about Watergate Scandal
According to new documents that were released by the National Archives this week, Nixon didn't resign for the good of the country or to avoid impeachment. He resigned because he was about to be indicted. I am guessing the timing of the release of this information was not a coincidence.
