| Marianne Williamson wants a national mandatory service for people ages 18-26 to combat climate change |
| 2019-09-21 |
| [USA Today] At a presidential climate change forum on Thursday, author and Democratic presidential hopeful Marianne Williamson floated the idea of a national mandatory year of service for young adults to tackle climate change. I thought we were done with Dems and Skittles-shitting Unicorns... "I would like to ask your opinion, I think during the 'season of repair,' we should have a mandatory national service, one year, for people between 18 and 26 because we need you," Williamson said. "We need to fix this climate. We need to fix this country." MSNBC's Ali Velshi asked the audience, which consisted mainly of students, to raise their hands if they liked the idea. "A few, alright." Williamson smirked at the crowd's reaction. "To save the country. It's not just the climate," she said. The climate forum was hosted by MSNBC and Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service, giving college students the opportunity to ask candidates questions. This is not the first time Williamson has mentioned of national service for young people. Her campaign website includes an outline of a program that would "be a way that every American citizen spends one year of their youth in service to the repair of our nation." |

| #6 Good luck with the 18-26 vote Marianne Williamson. The most hardcore socialist ages and she's alienating them as if she were a GOP plant. |
