Hello from Asher Heimermann

[AsherHeimermann]

My name is Asher Heimermann from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. I am 14 years of age and this is my fouth year involved in politics and government. I have submitted countless letters to political and government leaders as well as international leaders. I've been volunteering for Senator Barack Obama since June, 2007. Last week, I reached my fundraising goal of $3,000 for Senator Obama.

I have decided to get involved for multiple reasons, the primary reason being today a lot political views of the youth are not heard and I feel it is an important to make a difference. I invite you to visit my official website at www.AsherHeimermann.com to learn more about me and my involvement in politics and government.

If you have any questions, please e-mail me at [e-mail]. I look forward to sharing my views and thoughts on Democratic Underground.

2. Welcome to DU, sir. I have politically active kids--and we all

applaud you. Remember this can be a volatile place--be sure to hang tough!

Edited to say: Fox News is NOT news.

6. Well WELCOME to DU Asher!

Good for you for being involved. You guys will be in charge of the place someday (and sooner than some of us creaky folks might like to admit!)

This place can get pretty rough & tumble sometimes, and your relative youth might not buy too much indulgence. Don't take things too personally, read a lot, and have fun!

15. Comment from Asher Heimermann

Hi! Thanks for asking.

Well, I am thinking right now about what office I should run for. In the mean time, I'm asking people to sign up for my Monthly Newsletter:

http://www.asherheimermann.com/contact/newsletter/

My newsletter informs people about things that I don't blog about or discuss on my website. I am asking for people to e-mail me at [e-mail] if they support my involvement in politics, so I don't lose connection or forget about them.

29. Well Asher I certainly wouldn't call us Nice!

But as it seems like you know, based on your apparent maturity, sometimes caring doesn't include nice. Often the least caring and most vicious people are perfectly nice.

DU generally gives a shit about humanity (which includes you) and I personally think that's better than "nice" ;)

Welcome aboard! Glad to see that you too care! Keep up the great work my friend! :hi:

17. Welcome Asher!

Arm yourself with facts and know that you'll encounter many who can't think for themselves and will assume they can go unchallenged while spouting Fox News talking points. Many Midwesterners (of which I am one) are born Republicans, but will naturally evolve when they develop critical thinking skills and a sense of community. It's up to us to enlighten the Fox News-watching mouth breathers.

19. Welcome to DU, Asher...

:hi:

I'm humbled by your dedication at such a young age. I hope that you have many like-minded peers, and that together we can form an bridge to the future imbued with humane and enlightened values.

Feel free to express the views of your generation, and don't mind the old fuddy-duddies. ;)

30. welcome, asher...

"latest breaking news" is a wonderful place to get the news of the day, actually days before you will see it in any of the msm. that is an amazing and an incredible place to get ideas.

and the "lounge" is a fun place to hang out and discuss things, many cool people there. fun stuff. especially if you love kitties. and do this "introductory" post thing over there too. there is a wonderful young woman named ava you might want to meet. she is young like you (a bit older) and does incredible political videos. networking, you know...

i would avoid the "general discussion: presidential" forum if i were you. a very hard crowd posts there. i never post there, and i almost never read a post from there. people there seem to just want to fight. i'm not big on fighting.

"general discussion" is a mixed bag. sometimes fun. sometimes a hate fest. viewer discretion is advised...


and then there are the many "topic" and "group" forums that can either inform or scare, depending upon your disposition.

just a short tour of du for my newest best bud asher...
