3 Million GOP Voters didn't vote that didn't help.

Why not hire some Students to register college kids

My daughter said her campus had Obama tent to register voters and never saw a Romney tent

While campuses have always been somewhat liberal, there was, once upon a time, a silent majority of traditional families kids that attended those schools too - and many would vote Republican if they were registered. I am not so sure there are that many now. It is almost frightening how profoundly unpopular the conservative message is now on college and university campuses. Again, young people and educators have always been somewhat liberal, but nowadays the younger generations seem to feel they have nothing in common with conservatives. These younger people are vastly more libertine in outlook than even the "do what ever feels good" hippies of the 60's. Worse, they are now in a habit of voting Democrat and voting habits are hard to break.

My guess is Republicans are afraid to register on most campuses because they figure most of the kids will end up voting Democrat.

We need to not only register college kids, but educate them.

I.e. we have to find ways to get the ideas of constitutionalist conservatives to them, to counteract the Leftist indoctrination they get on almost all campuses.

How do we do get this information into their hands, and minds? This is a huge challenge. Any free publications that we might try to leave in campus locations (e.g. The Heritage Foundation's excellent little books) will likely be confiscated (and burned).

Social media? Ok, but how do we get them to take a look? You can lead a horse to water...
