Internet campaign activity is becoming an integral component to political success, providing a free way to reach out to the electorate. It is particularly useful in the recruitment of young voters, providing an outlet for them to become acquainted with the ideologies of various candidates. In recent elections, the youth demographic has been dramatically underrepresented, and hopefully, the integration of Facebook campaign advertisements will provide a valuable resource for the political education of young voters. It is crucial to spark the interest of American voters at an early age, so that they develop good political habits, and actively practice their rights as productive citizens. Facebook has proven to be an effective tool for communicating with the youth demographic, and it is no surprise that candidates have taken full advantage of this resource.
