The View from Washington (Park) is not a Political Action Committee. It is a blog founded by Joshua Koenig and Charlie Rafkin, two teenagers living in Chicago, who seek a more sophisticated approach to political discourse among our peers. Too often, youth in America fall back on antipathy culminating in a rejection of the political process altogether. With this blog, we hope to provide a forum for our peers to discuss the issues that matter.

A note about the name: Washington Park is a park near our school in Chicago. We’re witty, see!
