Pat, this is the second time I've tried to follow a link over to that
conversation, but I can't get to the boards. Is it working for others?

Not for me. I did manage to get to the motheringdotcom discussion boards, but didn't find a category/thread that seemed to fit the topic -- and way too many current topics within categories to wade thru them all.

Isabella Pinto has organized her own election tomorrow. Here's a bit
from the Waterbury Republican-American (Connecticut):

Isabella Pinto, 8, was so disappointed to learn she was
too young to vote, she organized her own election.

The young political junkie and contemporaries from her recently
launched Children's Right to Vote Committee on Tuesday will address
what they consider an injustice. They will oversee their own
presidential election, one open to even those born after iPods first
hit store shelves.

"It's not fair that we don't get to vote," said Isabella, an aspiring
commander-in-chief (and lawyer and scientist) from Thomaston. "People
say 'We the people,' and children are people, too."

I love the last bit of her quote. Children are able to make decisions
and both of my guys know they want to vote for Obama and why they want
to vote for him. At least this gives them a chance to vote.

Peace,
Jean Elizabeth
