Good evening, DUers!

[H2O Man]

I am showing my wonderful 10-year old daughter some of the DU forums. She loves to watch the news and discuss politics with me. She was insulted this evening by the republican commercial that had the wolves in the woods. We agreed that only people who are afraid of nature would like that commercial. We also have discussed her plans to run for president when she is an adult. She wants to clean the environment, feed hungry people around the globe, and end warfare.

I would appreciate if some of you would say "hello" to my daughter, who will be President Waterwoman in a few decades!

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

3. Welcome, Ms. President

It's a great honor!

[Diana52]

4. Delighted to meet you, President Waterwoman!

[ignatius 2]

5. Hey there, young lady. Welcome and it is simply wonderful that

you are so interested in politics and the well being of our country. Study, study and then study somemore while keeping a compassion for those less fortunate than you. Intelligence,knowledge,empathy, and a real concern for others are characteristics of a great president and a fine human being. God bless and best of luck to you.

6. Welcome future President Waterwomen

Things are a bit crazy here as of now because of the new Bin Laden tape. I'm sure other will chime in soon. :toast:

[The_Casual_Observer]

7. Hello!

It's funny that there are actually people out here looking at what you are writing!
Have a nice Halloween.

Best Regards!

8. Finally, A Woman President!

Thank you for running! I'll be voting for you! And while you're cleaning the environment don't forget to save the trees. They do a wonderful job of re-cycling our air.

[H2O Man]

12. "Cleaning the environment"

"We have lots of trees on our property. I've helped plant them with my family. I really love trees a lot. We couldn't live without them. Dad shows me books by his friend Robert Kennedy about the environment. His uncle was president.

"Thanks for people talking to me. Democratic Underground is cool!"

- President (to be) Waterwoman

[crickets]

48. Robert Kennedy is a wonderful man

and both his father and his uncle are heroes to me. Your father is wonderful too for introducing you to them so early in life, and for setting such a good example for you by helping you plant trees and take care of them.

It's lovely to meet you, Waterwoman! You're well on your way to making a great president. I look forward to voting for you.

:hi:

[Me.]

49. Excellent!

Glad to know you're already on it. And don't forget. when the time comes you'll have to let us know that you are you, if you get my drift.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. Hello there!

Welcome to DU! I will vote for you when you run for president.:hi:

[AnnInLa]

10. It's so nice when young people are interested

in politics! The future belongs to you, Madame President, so stay very informed about everything that affects you in this society. And, most of all...go for it....go for everything!

[phylny]

11. Hello, Madame President!

I have three daughters, and they are all becoming interested in politics. When you are running for president, we'll all be here, saying we knew you way back when!

[proud patriot]

13. Those are great goals for a President

Hello :hi:

[Maestro]

14. Hello

[Tsiyu]

15. Hello Miss H20

We really admire your Pa around here. He keeps us informed on many important issues. Thanks for sharing him with us.

I have a son your age. Like you, he does not like the idea of making wolves seem evil. When he was born, his dad and I had a hybrid wolf. From the time he was a baby she watched over him. He grew up with her and they became inseparable. She even slept in his bed every night he could sneak her in there!

Study hard, and listen to dear Old Dad. I hope someday to help Skinner start a young DUers forum, for kids like you and my son.

Have a wonderful weekend! :)

[H2O Man]

17. " I'd love a DU for kids!"

"We have a German Shepard that is 120 pounds! He looks like a wolf. He's the leader of our three dogs. The other ones are a lot smaller.

This summer we had foxes come around our lawn to eat our cat's food. They are cool, too. I love nature."

[Maiden England]

16. Hello, future Prez Waterwoman

you are making our future look bright indeed!

[shraby]

20. Greetings Madame President

Looking forward to your bid for the nation. I'm sure your father has given you the values that will make you a great president.
:hi:

[Taxloss]

18. Hi there H2O jr!

I would vote for you, if I could.

Waterwoman in a landslide!

You're very lucky. You get a say in who gets to be the most powerful person on Earth. Not only that, you've got a great guide from your Dad.

(Or Pa, or Pop, or whatever you Americans call fathers.)

[mountainvue]

19. Hello

future President Waterwoman!:)

[Swamp Rat]

21. Wassup President Waterwoman?

Do you know what I think about people (and especially republicans) that hurt animals and nature?:

[bearfan454]

22. Hello President Waterwoman !

I will vote for you when you run for election. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something that really matters to you. Cleaning the environment, feeding hungry people, and ending warfare are all wonderful things to do to help mankind. You are wise beyond your years..............bearfan

[milkyway]

23. Listen and learn from your Dad, Waterwoman. He's a very intelligent man.

[Mortos]

24. I am ready

for a woman president. Keep your grades up and learn as much as you can about the world. I know Bush didn't do any of those things but he is a miserale failure and I want you to be a spectacular success.

[FizzFuzz]

25. Go Girl!!!!

And I hope you're one in a long line of MADAME Presidents!

:bounce:

[Lostnote03]

26. Hello Ms.H2O....

....Your father is a well reasoned man.....I'm certain that you will be a positive force in the not so distant future....Best Wishes

[deadparrot]

27. Hi!! I'm fairly young, too (17)!

Glad to meet a fellow young liberal.

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. Well WOOT to you also for taking an interest in civics so young. :)

[deadparrot]

30. Aw, thanks. I try.

It's tough to be one of the only libs in my extremely conservative private HS, but in my heart I know I'm fighting the good fight.

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. Hey, college is just around the corner. You'll find all kinds of folk

to hang out with there. :)

[deadparrot]

38. Definitely. I'm getting very excited about that.

[GreenPartyVoter]

42. :)

[Taxloss]

Being surrounded by people who don't agree with you is great.

More potential for converts!

Just stick to the facts. And don't budge. And stay civil.

[deadparrot]

45. Yup, I had fun in politics class the other day.

We had a F9/11 day, to discuss, etc.

People were trying to stand up for * with the whole "My Pet Goat" debacle ("I was numb, I bet President * was, too." and "He didn't want to scare the kids."). The usual crap.

I went on a rant, saying, "Yes, but you were a 14 year old GIRL at the time; he's the PRESIDENT. His job is to lead and protect the country, and he FROZE. Lots of people were scared that day, when you're the president you have to get over that and DO SOMETHING. What if the NYC firefighters had froze like * did on 9/11? And if * was so concerned with "protecting the kids," he would have realized that he was a target and would have left the vicinity of those kids immediately, for their own well-being."

Said some other crap, too. My teacher just kind of half-grinned at me and said, "Well, I've never thought about it like that before."

[Wind Dancer]

28. It's a pleasure to meet you, future President Waterman!

We were insulted with the wolves in the Republican commercial, too. We need a female president who wants to clean the environment, feed the hungry and stop these wars. I would be honored to vote for you!

Your dad is quite popular around here, he inspires us the same way he does you.

[ahem]

31. Welcome President Waterwoman, and...

First let me congratulate you on your noble goal to be President of this country one day. We desperately need smart young people like yourself to aspire to that position. Your policies concerning the environment, the hungry, and war are just what this country needs. You have my vote.

Thank you for recognizing that wolves are an important part of nature and not to be feared or used for political manipulation.

Welcome to DU!

[Mandate My Ass]

32. What a wonderful president you'll make, Ms. H2O

I only wish with a platform like that you were a candidate this year! You can count on my vote, though years from now. If you're anything like your dad you're very smart as well as good-hearted. Pax nobiscum.O8)

[Ladyhawk]

33. Wolves rule!!!! And so do copperheads and Eastern milksnakes!!!

Hi, H20 Man.

I caught your response to my "copperhead" post, but I forgot to get back to you. All I wanted to do was say hi, anyway!

[H2O Man]

39. "Hi!"

"I proved my Dad wrong on milk snakes before. I'll never let him forget it. It was the first time I ever did. He said you proved him wrong, too, and that he wouldn't admit it. He is stubborn. I'm like him, my Mom says!"

[Ladyhawk]

43. LOL! Stubborn is good to a point. :)

I have a stubborn streak, as well. I am learning to defer to others when their knowledge is greater than my own. That can be hard for silly, prideful Ladyhawk. :)

[milkyway]

35. Did Waterwoman break the Internets? I couldn't get into DU for a short

while after posting in this thread.

Welcome to DU, Waterwoman. Kids Rule!

[Ladyhawk]

40. I couldn't get onto any of the Internets. :)

President Waterwoman, I love that you have respect for nature! That totally rules. I sometimes wish California still had wolves, but European hunters killed them all and the grizzly bears, too. I find it ironic that the symbol on the Californian flag is a grizzly. There isn't a single grizzly left in the state!

[leftchick]

36. Well hello Ms. H2O....

I have a 9 1/2 year old son who shares many of your same values and world concerns. Would you consider him for your Vice President?
You have a very wise Dad, but then I bet you knew that.
Welcome to DU!

peace,
leftchick :)

[H2O Man]

44. "Well sure!"

"Someone said they should make a DU for kids. That would be great. This is really cool. I ask my Dad why he's laughing sometimes, and he says it's the Democratic Underground. Now I know why!"

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. Hello future Madam President!

May other women pave the way for you! We can only hope!

[Oilwellian]

41. Hello future Madam President

It's nice to see someone so young have such a high regard for nature. You also seem to instinctively know wolves are not a threat to man..in fact, they're scared to death of us.

I thought you'd like to see a picture of my two wolves, ShadowHawk (black wolf)and Bliss of the Hawkpack. Hope you enjoy.

Bliss:

(2 weeks old)

(3 weeks old)

(2 months old)

[CelticWinter]

46. Hello Madam President

Its so refreshing to know that our young people respect and cherrish Mother Earth and all her creatures. May the wolf spirit guide you on your journey to make this a better world.
Blessings

[Jackpine Radical]

47. Hello young lady.

Just wanted you to know that we really appreciate your father around here for all the work he has done digging up and putting together facts that the Republicans don't want us to know about.

You already have my vote for President.

[H2O Man]

50. "Good morning, DUers!"

"Thank you for all the notes. Glad I can count on all your votes. President Bush gets an extra hour because of daylight savings time. But Tuesday he loses to a greater power, and then he'll have to start paying for all his crime!"

-- The WaterWoman!!!

[laylah]

51. Welcome my future

Madam President. Your goals are worthy and I look forward to learning more about you before I cast my vote for you in 2034.

Regards,
Jenn
