New Progressive America: The Millennial Generation

David Madland and Ruy Teixeira just put this report out through the Center for American Progress, "New Progressive America: The Millennial Generation." I had a feeling that New Era has been working with Millenials for a reason...

Check out the report and don't miss the interactive quiz and the super sweet interactive map links below.

"The Millennial generation, which supported Obama by a 2-to-1 ratio in 2008, has already had a large effect on American politics. That effect will only grow in future years as this generation—the largest and most diverse in U.S. history—adds 4 million eligible voters each year to America’s electorate. This generation’s agenda is therefore likely to have a large and growing impact on the nation’s agenda. That’s good news for progres- sives because Millennials’ agenda is so clearly progressive in all areas. Millennials want to end the culture wars; move America’s foreign policy toward a more cooperative and multilateral approach; rebuild a strong, positive role for government; achieve universal health care; reform and expand America’s educational system; start the transition to a clean energy economy; and much more. If progressive governance can achieve these objectives, the loyalty of this generation to the progressive cause seems assured."
