The kids I know have a lot of opinions about race, but I’d say that in my HS, only about 30% of the kids care at all about politics, and most of them don’t know a lot about the issues. Most opinions are no more complicated that “Dude, that ain’t right.” or “Well he’s a […]

In the past 8 (almost) years, we have had quite a bad taste of a”Republican Rule,” and I use the term “Rule” strictly. I think you can all understand where I am coming from if you have seen anything in the
news over the past years. Bush and his administration is nothing but corruption.
That being said…

YouTube - Link to: Hillary Ad using Ann Richards
Dan Solis from ThinkYouth (who is formerly one of our editors and founders) sent me this video along with this note:
If this doesn’t get you motivated to endorse Hillary on your blog, I don’t know what will.
I gotta admit, this video made me tear up a bit. Have […]

Over the weekend, I took part in the first Nebraska Democratic Caucus in over 40 years. I have to say, despite a lack of funding from the Nebraska Democratic Party and the ill-preparedness of the caucus sites, it was a very unique experience.
Early estimates put the turn out at my site as only 17 […]

Would someone please tell me why the story about Huckabee wanting to change the Constitution and start a theocracy here is NOT in regular newspapers? I am not allowed to use AlterNet or TPM or the blogs as sources for weekly “current events in politics” assignments. And if it isn’t even news for a high […]

OK, he didn’t get the biggest percentage of delegates from the caucuses, but he did win by beating Hillary. He also showed that people want change and that you can get a lot of votes without having to spend zillions of dollars.
Congratulations Mr. Edwards!
Here is his campaign website.
