Young Americans take up the political fight - Aug '08

Frustrated by old-school politics and energised by a wide-open race, young people are expected to be a potent political force in the US presidential election this November, especially with both John McCain and Barack Obama fighting for the votes of those 30 and under.

Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros reports from Florida on the young Americans looking to make a difference in the White House race.

Hello and welcome to the online home of the Florida Federation of Young Professional Republicans.

The Florida Federation of Young Republicans is the largest state Young Republican organization in the country. We are composed of individuals between the ages of 18 to 40, residing in every corner of the state and in-between.

The FFYR is a grassroots organization; dedicated to helping Republicans from around the state get elected. In addition to that, Young Republicans have many opportunities to meet and assist our Republican officials from around the state and country.
