Well maybe i haven't decided but my 12 year old daughter has.

[AlCzervik]

She just handed me $60 and asked me if i could send $30 each to Obama and Kucinich, it's her money that she's been saving and she just decided to donate it. In turn i just bought her a shirt for each of the candidates of her choice.

Anyhow i'm proud of her for actually on her own taking the time to visit the websites of the candidates and read up on all of them. Just thought i'd share this.

1. @12 and she is thinking about the country with her wallet, WOW!

I am impressed, she could be spending that on music or shoes, but she is donating money to political campaigns.

Our 14 year old is dedicated and definitely working for the Democrats. She helps with the local club ever chance she gets and is vocal about her opinion of the current regime. But she has opted for the music over donations.

There is hope in our youth.

Be proud of your daughter, be very proud.

4. i was really suprised, she totally took me off guard.

[tblue]

12. Yeah, so many kids are naturally self-centered. She is a special human being. Kudos to you, too!

6. Wonderful

She deserves your pride. :)

7. Now THOSE are Values!

When a kid gives up money for Social Justice, you know you've done something RIGHT.
That makes me want to work harder to help create what's next.

Congratulations!

8. there are many more out there, the kids in her class talk about politics all the time

the teacher sits back and listens but says nothing and lets the kids go for it, mock deabtes, the whole thing and so many of them are actually interested, it really gives me hope.

9. That's so sweet..she takes

after her mother and getting a much earlier start than I did.

But, what a time in our history to put your money where your mouth is with your choice(s) of leadership!

Give your sweetpea a hug for me. :)

13. K and 5th Recommend......

Cause any 12 year old parting with $60 due to her wish for a better America must be recommended! :patriot:

:woohoo:

[eridani]

15. How does she feel about precinct walking?

Kids being concerned about politics might well shame more adults into doing likewise.

16. Wow, that's terrific!

I know that my sons would never have given $60 to a political candidate at that age. (and great choices btw!)
