I want to give another shout-out......

[hwmnbn]

to a wonderful website maintained by a 15 year-old young lady who has astute political sensibilities. She's been featured on ABC news. Her name is Ava and she also creates some amazing animations.

Here's a sample of her work.

BTW, she's from the deep south which makes her work all the more incredible. She and her mom run the site's forum which has had some brilliant freeper smackdowns. :rofl:

I realize that our future lies with our children. And kids like this need to be encouraged. I'm doing that by asking y'all to check out her site. She could use our support.

Thanks

1. Very powerful -

Bushco should be made to watch this every day.


BTW - I just KNEW she was homeschooled! Yay!!

[hwmnbn]

3. Yes she was.....

how did you find that out?

[mzteris]

5. I figured she was

and when I went to the site, I was just clicking around and saw (on my 2nd or 3rd click) someone made reference to her having been homeschooled.

I'm a hs mom, btw. :hi:

[hwmnbn]

6. Congratulations.......

I went to regular school and have spent most of my adult life discarding much of the bs that I was taught there.

I don't have any experience with home-schooling but I imagine it is harder than it's made out to be.

9. Excellent MarianJack, I saw your first post there......

thanks for joining. Ava and her mom are a very cool duo. Once you read some of their stuff (posts and articles) you'll see why I participate over there. :headbang:

8. Powerful, and very moving.

She uses the phrase, "America Deserves Better" at the end--a slogan suggested by a DUer the other day when we were discussing, what I think is the weak, "American Can Do Better." My suggestion for the Democrats was "Fighting for the Public Interests, Not the Special Interests." There were other good suggestions, too.

10. Did you notice her site's slogan?......

I think that says it all. As noted above, the girl is homeschooled and she writes beautifully.

[flpoljunkie]

11. Excellent!

[hwmnbn]

12. This is a shameless self-kick.......

:evilgrin:

but I don't care. A young political activist deserves to be recognized.

:kick:

[MarianJack]

13. Another Kick!

This deserves to be seen!

Do yourself a favor & trust hwmnbn and (in all modesty) me!

[blm]

14. Now who could resist that?

Kick.

[hwmnbn]

16. I tell ya, MarianJack is a charmer.........

He was nice enough to join and post in her forum. No doubt, the guy's all class! :toast:

[MarianJack]

18. Thanx!

:headbang:

[annabanana]

15. very impressive..

(hope for the future)

[hwmnbn]

17. Impressive??....Ava is homeschooled....

and I just found out today that she will be attending University at 16 years old. When I was that age, I was just getting a handle on long division!

Again thanks for visiting her site, every hit helps. :thumbsup:
