http://blog.johnkerry.com/blog/archives/003325.html#003325Seven kids from the southern New Hampshire chapter of Kids for Kerry-Edwards entertained a crowd of over 500 people who had gathered in Manchester's Victory Park for a town hall meeting with Senator John Edwards. As the crowd awaited the Senator's arrival, the kids sang a lively tune titled "Oh Johnnies" that was written by campaign volunteer Margo Roman. At the end of the meeting, the kids were asked to sing it again, this time for Senator Edwards himself! He thoroughly enjoyed it and posed with the musical troupe for pictures!

From the Kids for Kerry-Edwards web site (
http://www.kidsforkerry.org/):
"We cannot vote yet, but we should have a voice today! That is why we have created KidsForKerry.org. We have learned our ABCs and we believe that John Kerry represents our best hope for a peaceful and hopeful future. This site is for Kids, Parents, Grandparents, Teachers, and anyone who wants to learn and discuss issues important to Kids!!! Even if you support a different candidate or a different party, get involved with your candidate in a positive way! By getting involved and understanding the issues, we will be helping our future and our great country! WE CAN HAVE A VOICE TODAY!
We support John Kerry because he knows his ABCs: AMERICA — We believe in an America with hope, with a great future and with PEACE. We believe that John Kerry, a REAL HERO, can lead AMERICA to a peaceful and safe future. A future we can be proud of. That the whole world can be proud of!! THIS IS OUR FUTURE!! WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT OUR FUTURE!!! We should do all we can now for our future. John Kerry will be good to the environment of our beautiful country. He has been the top environmental Senator for several years. He will keep jobs within America, will help our economy grow, and has the best answers to keep our country respected and strong! We already live in the best country; Now it is time to have the best President!
BETTER EDUCATION — We believe that John Kerry cares about us getting a better education. He will fight for smaller class sizes and support for teachers so that they don't have to buy their own supplies. And he will make sure that ALL kids have a safe place to go after school. Right now there are over 7 Million of us kids who return home with nobody there to be with us after school. John Kerry will provide us with great choices to help our future by participating in after school programs to help us in school, music and the arts!! He cares about us!!! Too many of us have been left behind in our schools the past 4 yeas. This will not happen once John Kerry becomes our President.
Compassion to all Children ----We believe that ALL children should be given a chance in this world. Right now there are MILLIONS of kids in AMERICA without health insurance. These kids often cannot go to the Doctor when they are sick. John Kerry believes that every child in America should have health insurance. He also believes that no child should ever go hungry. Right now there are Millions of us kids who do not get enough to eat.
