(Teenagers) are an enormous untapped resource. There's a huge benefit in having young people do the legwork. . . . where as many adults don't have the time or energy to get out there, these kids do.

Most teenagers are far more interested in politics than we give them credit for. They're informed, they watch the news, and they're concerned about what happens.

These great young people are a tremendous benefit to the party. They help us with voter registration drives, get-out-the-vote efforts, neighborhood caucus meetings, county and state conventions, and most importantly, helping Republican candidates get elected.

(We especially deal) with HIV, with young adults and teenagers being one of the fastest growing populations of people who are getting infected with the disease.

The people that are doing these things are not stupid or angst-driven teenagers.

That's to protect the lives of our young people. Unfortunately, teenagers are more likely to die in a wreck than any other age group.
