Recent trends indicate that millennials—those born between 1980 and 2000—are increasingly receptive to the ideas of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and personal liberty. But the government has consistently failed to represent the interests of young people, piling up debt and spending that will ultimately have to be paid for by the next generation. Joblessness among young people remains high, student loans are out of control, and the cost of education and health care keep rising.

Your generation is being robbed.

Still, in the face of these facts, the political right has been ineffective at engaging and communicating with millennials, while the Democratic Party continues to take them for granted without moving to solve any of the problems they face.

The following questions are designed to get you to think creatively about ways the liberty movement can engage America’s young people in a meaningful, long-term way, so that we can start to seriously tackle the problem of generational theft.

The 20 respondents with the most innovative, inspiring, and practical solutions will win a free trip to the FreePAC: Morning in America Summit in Cincinnati, Ohio on March 12, 2016 where they will meet with FreedomWorks Foundation staff and other prominent leaders in the liberty movement to discuss how to put their ideas into action.

This is your chance to make a real difference—to take your country back from the politicians and special interests who want to mortgage your future.
