Reply #14: It's no dupe-- it's Alex! [View All]

[no name no slogan]

Alex is the real deal.

I met him just this past Saturday, and I'm pleased to say he's one of the most thoughtful and mature 16-year-olds that I have ever met.

As a matter of fact, he is the person who set up the Minnesota for Kucinich web site (www.minnesotaforkucinich.com) and still does the lions' share of the updating.

I build websites and web applications for a living (for the last 5+ years), and I've been thoroughly impressed with Alex's work for someone with so little previous experience. However, he's also mature enough to know when to seek input from others. That's partially how I met him this weekend-- to share my experiences and knowledge on how to enhance the current site.

Most of the people in the MN Kucinich campaign are a lot like Alex-- young, idealistic, and oftentimes have never participated in grassroots politics. However, they know the current path this country is on is not the right path, and they believe (as I do) that Kucinich's campaign represents the best way to change things for the better.

But yeah, Alex is a very cool dude. And I believe he posts here on occassion, too. :)
