Reply #6: Never underestimate the power of young people! [View All]

[rogerashton]

Some of the most effective positive politics I have ever seen came from some thoughtful, enthusiastic junior-high-schoolers. Kids can do most things adults can do, and many of them better. In politics, young folks may not be able to actually run and pull the lever -- but there are so many things that can be more important as they can bring more than one person to pull the lever the right way. Web sites, knocking on doors, answering questions personally or by phone, demonstrating, researching and backgrounding -- and as often as not, the kids are more effective at these things than us over-the-hill headbangers are.

Keep the flag flying!

Hurrah!
