Presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will participate in the third and final Presidential Debate October 22nd, focusing on foreign policy and national security issues. Generation Opportunity "Young American adults are very concerned about the United States' ability to maintain its role as a global leader in the future if it continues on the same path as the last several years. They believe certain policies advocated in Washington, D.C. have weakened America's national security, especially policies that increase the national debt, decrease American energy production, expand American reliance on foreign energy sources, and escalate America's indebtedness to foreign powers. They view China as both an economic and military threat to the United States, and they closely watch China's economic policies, military buildup, space exploration, and restrictions on Internet and speech freedoms," said Paul T.
