The 18 - 30 VIP
What is The 18-30 VIP? During the 2004 election year, The 18-30 VIP was designed as a tool to improve the dialogue among voters ages 18 to 30, candidates for elected office and their political parties. It has since been updated for the 2008 election year.
Information and important questions regarding the economy & jobs, education, Iraq & war on terrorism, health care and the environment & energy policy are found within the VIP. The VIP encourages 18-to-30-year-olds to use this information to engage their elected officials on these key issues for young adults in preparation for Election Day, Tuesday, November 4.
The VIP is based on the most recent research conducted by top, national polls and other sources, including the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), the Congressional Budget Office and Harvard University’s Institute of Politics.
