The 18 to 29 year olds will decide this election, and the future of America. If they vote in large numbers, Kerry wins .... but more importantly, America wins.
7. The youngest voters are the hope for the survival of democracy
This is a lot to put on your young shoulders -- but I am so darn proud and pleased that you guys are answering the call.
You guys are voting for your future -- the votes you cast today will make a big difference in the world you find when you have gray hair and need reading glasses (or whatever).
I know that my generation made a difference in protesting the Vietnam war -- fighting for free speech, etc. And let's not forget Earth day -- begun by the college students in the early 1970s.
8. Today at 7:00 PM my daughters have organized a victory party at
their tennis club. About 400 kids are expected to turn up. When I asked them if I could go, it went over like a lead balloon. I was willing to put up with the hurt in a good cause. Go have fun kids.You have done a great job for our team!
This was my first election. I was 15 when the last one happened and my mom let me go into the poll with her and push the button for Gore. Man, seems like such a long time ago... I feel so grown up. :D
