With the job market crashing into a pile of empty laws, it is important to write to as many media sources, government offices, and local officials as possible, stressing the following points:

 




There are over 5.5 million youth without jobs, and the average college student is $19,000 or more in debt.
Many entry level jobs are now being outsourced to countries with less humane labor laws, reducing opportunities for American workers while doing little to improve living standards for workers here or elsewhere.
Trade and technical jobs for youth who cannot afford college are no longer available, making life without a college degree less promising.
Democrats support policies that make college more affordable for low income families.

Don't supply statistics to the media without the source of information
By Hope4America, CA Delegate At-Large Jun 7th 2008 at 6:35 pm EDT
Letters to the media that set forth statistics without providing verifiable sources of those statistics go straight into the trash can.

Help media to write reports. Provide as much verifiable supporting data as you can. (You might end up in the press yourself!)
