There's been lots of talk in the media, among politicians, academics and thinkers about "how young people aren't getting out to vote" and that "the youth of today don't care". There is a lot of truth to these impressions. We are going to change this. We ... have started a campaign, "The 20,000 Project", because as young women, we want to show Canadians that we do care. ... We are gathering names of young women who will pledge to vote in the next federal election [back in 2004]. ... And, since we happen to be in Ottawa, we will do our darndest to try and get our collective voices heard.
