FREEDOM'S ANSWER: NLC YOIJTH PROGRAM <br /> The National League of Cities has joined a long list of national organizaUons supporting a youth <br />driven effort to produce the "largest tumout in any mid-term election ever." <br /> <br /> Freedom's Answer is a non-partisan, non-profit program organized in the nation's high school and <br />led by students themselves. More than 2,500 high schools in all 50 states are participating in the mas- <br />sive get-out-the-vote effort with 100 more joining every day. <br /> <br /> Along with NLC, the national sponsors include the American Bar Association, AARP, American <br />Association of School Administrators, American Federation of Teachers, League of Women Voters, <br />National Association of Counties, National Association of School Boards, National Conference of State <br />Legislatures, and the National Education Association. Both the Democratic and Republican National <br />Parties are also sponsors of the campaign. <br /> <br /> Major youth groups including the Boys and Gids Clubs of America, Boys Nation, Girls Nation, Junior <br />ROTC, National Association of Student Councils, National Honor Society, and Youth Partnership Team of <br />America's Promise are spearheading the effort among high school students. <br /> <br /> Every high school in America has been asked to name a student coordinator who will organize <br />students to seek 10 pledges from voting age relatives, neighbors, and ~ends to vote on November 5 to <br />honor these who protect America's freedom everyday. The campaign is focusing only on exercising the <br />right to vote and does not ask anyone to vote for or against any part of candidate. <br /> <br /> visit the Freedom's Answer web site at www.
