I'm so excited!
My son (gonna be 18 next month) told me that he is going to register to vote this morning. He can't wait to vote! He told me that '...it sucks, that I can't vote for president until I'm 21...'

(insert a little 'snoopy-type' happy dance here)

1. Thank you
For giving hope to a world. A young man who can't wait to vote. As long as he is kept educated, this world CAN get better.

The desire to know, and the desire to make things better. :)

5. I had to poke around on Google for a little bit
but I knew a picture like that couldn't be TOO hard to find :)

Sounds like you brought the kid up right :) (or left as the case may be).

6. '06 elections...
these could be the most critical in our history.A test as to whether the common good will prevail over the current rule of corporate greed.

7. Be sure to tell him that if we don't fix it before he is 21, his vote
won't count, and not to get too worked up, that way the let down will not be overwhelming.

12. Good for him! My daughter feels the same way.
She'll be 18 in June, and was extremely frustrated that she could not vote last fall.
