Kids for Kerry
Sat, 09-04-2004 - 1:30am
I was earlier at dems2004.org and there was a young twelve-year old girl speaking at the dem convention and she was speaking for her generation and everything. I think it was great to see her speak and knowing that young people are involved with politics no matter their age because to me it shows that they care about their futures and are interested. I also do agree with the small class terms. In my high school our class rooms were so large. One math class I had around 30 people and we had a small/medium (depending on your opinion and comparrison to other rooms) room and some days there wouldn't be a desk available but luckily the person was absent or something. In college my classes have been a lot smaller and I do go to a local community school but I love having a smaller class cause that way everybody can be involved and can get help from the teacher. There are TONS of people who come from all around the area to my school but they have lots of different times and classes available (of the same subject with different teachers). You can see my school at chattanoogastate.edu if you're wondering about it. I've noticed my teachers don't feel so stressed out with trying to get everybody on the same page with the lesson like the one math class in high school with 30 people. The direct link to the young girl talking is http://www.kintera.org/site/apps/nl/content2.asp?c=luI2LaPYG&b=125459&ct=158774 and their website is kidsforkerry.org Just wondering: has Bush had any teens or young people speaking at his events? I'm just wondering to compare what they say and how both are trying to reach out to the younger voters like myself. I'm just still reading and learning all I can. So far I've just seen Bush mainly for elementary kids. Those kids are important but I have cousin's who will soon be getting ready to go into college during the next President's term. At least one I'm positive of (I believe she's a junior now). Please correct me if I'm wrong and let me know if there is something out there where I can hear Bush or a young person speaking out for him. As a young adult woman who wants to have kids someday I just want to vote for the best person whether it's Kerry or Bush (even though so far I am for Kerry).
