Opponents of Iran Deal Try to Reach Young Voters on Snap chat

Reaching young voters to fight Obama Iran deal

The New York Times, 13 August 2015

Speaking in favor of the international arms control agreement with Iran last week in Washington, President Obama warned that opponents of the deal would flood the airwaves with “tens of millions of dollars in advertising,” ahead of a congressional vote in September. He failed, however, to advise citizens who want to tune out the debate entirely to avoid not just their televisions but also Snapchat, the social messaging service popular with teenagers. During the Republican debate in Ohio last week, as the candidates denounced the agreement, Snapchat users who opened the app in that state were offered the chance to weigh in by adding a filter to an image of themselves which would express “How I Feel About the Bad Iran Deal.”
