Since Bush will be a lame duck president come 2007 I figure it's time to start something new. Please check out my site and join in the movement. www.YouthDemocracy.net

1. Hey, why not do special outreach out to all the 16-year olds out there?

THEY'LL be old enough to vote in 2008...they don't get drafted first...

7. Nice site and a good idea

Perhaps you could do some social networking for your site through The Sunlight site. They organize ordinary citizens to do investigative work to put a little sunlight on our current lawmakers. There are all kind of projects there and they have just opened up a new networking site:

The Sunlight Network -- our sister 501 c 4 organization -- was launched yesterday with great fanfare. You should check some of the initial ways we hope to create a network of citizens who are engaging in accountability work. There's a pretty neat new project you can find there that you can work on immediately. We also launched a social networking site for Sunlighters -- the commmunity of folks who want to work with us on a regular basis. The primary purpose of that site is to provide a useful forum for distributed research and activism -- to figure out together the kinds of things it makes sense to work on jointly. It enables individuals to connect one on one, as groups, and work collectively on projects. Think of it as MySpace for people who want to demand more transparency from lawmakers.

8. we need to get the kids in middle school

They *are* interested. The kids in my child's school come to us for information. They are not too young to learn.

They're hopelessly indoctrinated on the topics within the front section of the Washington Post and the Latest Hot Topic on C-SPAN's Washington Journal, but not all willingly but through osmosis. :blush:
