George Bush shouldn't be re-elected because he gave a lot of U.S. money to Mars.

John Kerry would ruin the country, but it's already messed up.

These messages have been approved by sixth-graders at North Ridgeville Middle School.

As the country blazes with campaign rhetoric over Tuesday's presidential election, it's no surprise that children across the country have developed a few opinionated sparks of their own. Perhaps Bush and Kerry should have tried some damage control during Saturday morning cartoons.

Kids might not be able to vote until they are 18, but they are voters-in-the-making who can be influenced by and can influence their voting-age parents. Electronic communication technology is helping tell the tale.
