Kids for Kerry is a grassroots organization of kids that support John Kerry, want to help their futures2, and get active in politics.
When my parents went to see Teresa Heinz Kerry speak, they told me that she was amazing! -- and that they thought John Kerry would make a great President. I decided3 to find out more about John Kerry. I talk about what I learned by using my ABCs.
"A" is America. John Kerry is a hero to America, and he will help our futures. He is a great and positive role model.
"B" is Better education. John Kerry wants to make class sizes smaller, so that children get the best part out of learning. He wants to help teachers because being a teacher is educating children, and letting them out into the world to do good things.
"C" is Compassion4 towards children. John Kerry wants to make sure that health care is not a privilege, but it is something that we can all afford.
This summer, I was supposed to go to my favorite camp. But instead, I decided to go to the John Kerry office every day. Kids can really help!
On KidsforKerry.org, we have an interactive5 presidential quiz. There are 270 questions for the electoral votes John Kerry will win. Plus, 25 questions to make up for Florida from the last election.
Our next goal is to have a petition for "National No Name-Calling Day," a day that the candidates don't say anything negative about one another. When our Vice6 President had a disagreement with a Democratic senator, he used a REALLY BAD word.
If I said that -- If I said that word, I would be put in a "time-out."
I think he should be put in a time-out.
The last time I saw John Kerry, he grabbed my arm and said, "See you at the convention." And here I am!
What will be even more amazing will be the inauguration7 in January, when we have a new President, knowing that kids have made a difference in this election.
To summarize, Teresa Heinz Kerry: Inspirational, amazing!
John Kerry: American hero, next President.
Kids need -- Kids need positive -- Kids need positive role models in politics. And our Vice President deserves a longgggggg time-out.
Kids -- Kids, this is about our futures. Make sure all adults you know get out and vote.
We can have a voice today!
Thank you!
