Globalist Fueled Revolutions Spreading in the U.S.
Left Behind? American Youth and the Global Fight for Democracy
March 8, 2011Ruthie Howard - I'm 24, recent college graduate, and people of my age group ARE inspired by what the youth are doing all over the world, and we want to be apart of it!
A majority of the people I know who recently graduated could not find a job and therefore joined the AmeriCorps program. The new budget set forth by the House is to completely eliminate the program. Alot of us do this work, because we CARE about the people in this world who are suffering and want to volunteer, in the process, we also get an educational reward that can go to pay back student loans. I am in the middle of my program, and if this is cut, I do not get the educational reward, and will be jobless in even higher debt.
It is ENRAGING, and the youth apart of the AmeriCorps program ALL think so. It is government telling us flat out "you don't matter". It is an insult to say we do not care, because it is not true.
A main part of the problem, is that we simply do not know to what extent youth is taking measures into their own hands. I have been absolutely obsessed with the protests going on around the world, and what I have come to realize is that a lot of people I know who would feel the same way, simply don't know about it. We're spreading the knowledge, slowly but surely.
Small protests are taking place against budget cuts to higher education here, but, they are not covered by the media. There was a protest in my hometown just this past weekend, and I had to find out about it from my friend via Facebook after it happened. Due to this factor, other students do not know about it, and do not know how to join, and we still feel hopeless.
We see what is going on in the world, and we realize that there has been a revolutionary shockwave that will change the world, and we are motivated by it and feel at one with the youth everywhere, and we understand that history is in the making (if not already made), but we just haven't had our opportunity yet.
Don't give up on us. I believe, truly believe, that what is going on in Wisconsin is waking us all up as a nation. I think a lot of what has to do with American youth not taking to the streets in deliberate opposition, is because corruption takes a different form here. Rather than obvious with direct violence, we have to scrounge the internet for the truth about what really runs America, and make sense of the resources ourselves. Its slow moving, it's frustrating, but just because of those factors, it's false to generalize that American youth as a whole doesn't care.
Young Americans are also waking up. Check out http://generationwakingup.org/wp/
"A new generation of young people is waking up. We are the middle children of History, coming of age at the crossroads of civilization, a generation rising between an old world dying and a new world being born. We are the 'make-it or break-it' generation, the 'all-or-nothing' generation, the crucible through which civilization must pass or crash."Read More...
