fixing the gender gap in wages.

fixing overtime regs - an office admin, store manager etc. loose their overtime at a much lower pay level than a blue-collar worker.

Teach voting and election issues in school. Show these young people how various minority groups are organizing to leverage issues far beyond their population levels and beyond their economic input.

:) get your candidate an endorsement from a pretty-boy band or some other personable stud who will perform at rallies :)

Fix the primaries so the candidates aren't set in stone until the last vote is cast. Do all the largest states on the same day late in the season like April 2 or so. Yes people should care about their local and state contests, but don't make their vote meaningless for the Presidential nominations.

Get more states to use proportional electoral participation instead of winner-takes all. If it doesn't matter whether your candidate gets 51% or 91% then why vote? In a solid red or blue state many many votes don't count.
