American youth are going after Foley and anti-youth members of Congress
One non-partisan youth site has articles by young Americans who want to end what is perceived as intolerance and mistreatment of minors and discrimination based on ageism.

Some of the writers are especially unhappy about two Republican bills, HR 5295 (the strip-searching of minors bill) and HR 5319 (DOPA) which seeks to prevent minors from organizing online.
Foley was one of the co-sponsors of the legislation that has upset them and they have one article called: "Taking out the Child Predators in Congress, One at a Time." The article starts with "Foley's gone. Who is next?"

There is also a great article called: "WHY AMERICA NEEDS DEBRA BOWEN," located at http://creativeyouth.net/bowen.html.

The site has a number of youth writers from a variety of political backgrounds, Actually, the fact that it is not a Democratic site means more in showing that a cross-section of kids are fed up with Republican politics and are working to elect leaders like Kucinich and Debra Bowen. The main url is http://creativeyouth.net/

1. Note this front page question about Republican perverts
Perhaps whoever is investigating Foley ought to call in the Creative Youth News Team to find out who else should be removed from Congress. Creativeyouth.net started talking about Republican perverts before the Foley scandal broke and is ahead of the networks in reporting news.

"Are Geoff Davis (the bill's proponent) and co-sponsors, Judy Biggert Charles W. Boustany , John R. Carter , Phil English , Michael Fitzpatrick, Jim Gerlach, Sue W. Kelly, Mark R. Kennedy, Mark Steven Kirk , John Kuhl , Ron Lewis, Jon C. Porter , Christopher Shays, John Shimkus, Bill Shuster , Mark E. Souder and Curt Weldon perverts who like to see kids naked?" http://creativeyouth.net/

Kerry sent out an alert about Fitzpatrick today. This site makes Fitzpatrick look far worse than what Kerry sent out.
