What role do children play in campaigning for your candidate?
I'm curious how the different campaigns are getting children involved in the political process? For instance, do children play an active role in the campaign of your candidate? Do they have any kind of influence on the campaign? Are they stuffed in a corner? Are they acknowledged and appreciated? Are they treated like useful slaves? Are they not involved at all in the campaign?

2. They study her in school
Then they come home and ask, "Daddy, can I grow up to be President?"

Be honest to your kids: Carol Moseley Braun for President.

4. Ummm...
... we have volunteers who bring their kids to HQ; they help some times with stuffing and licking envelopes, etc., if they want to help. :)

5. In the Southen California Kucinich campaign, the two most effective
volunteers are two kids, who seem to be doing more work than most of the adults combined. Much of the success here is in part do to their efforts. They have passed out a phenomenal amount of flyers, have spoken at gatherings, have worked to organize events, have written published items and are probably the best spokespersons for the campaign in their county.

6. Nastasha and her brother?
The kid who started kids for Kucinich is a Vermonter is that what someone is from Vermont is called sorry my naiveness is coming out. They sure are active in our campaign really. The kids for Kucinich group is good, people are always prasing me for being involved but what Nastasha and her brother do is good stuff. We also got the guy my age who runs Minnesota for Kucinich, Alex Cutler, great guy, he posts here sometimes, and kudos for him for having the platform in different languages, not just English or Spanish but Russian and Thai amongst others. There was an article on Alex and a fellow kucinich supporter posted about it and was congradulating me, I was like I am not him, but in the end, it was great, Alex stepped in and said something, and I chuckled because I had my identity mistaken for.
