KidsforKerry.org has been Conventionized. Have they even been posted to Slashdot yet?
I'm not sure what I think of the 12 year old who got up to speak about Kids for Kerry. Maybe I was a late bloomer - but in 1988 I was finishing up middle school, my two cousins were leaving with me and my two brothers & my parents were starting the road to divorce. Politics was the last think on my mind. I didn't really start getting politically active until mid High School when I met some wonderful friends who inducted me into the wonders of liberal Northampton Massachusetts and Singer-Songwriter, folk music.
Who knows, maybe because people around my age are starting to educate, (or indoctrinate), their kids earlier about politics that there are Kids for Kerry. I know my son will learn about values as well as politics for as long as I'm politically active.
Hopefully KidsforKerry.org will come back up and I can read more for myself.
