1. I should add, I in NO WAY influenced their decision
except to have them pick key issues that may affect them in the next 10 years and then research both major parties to find how they believe on the issues!


I think the kids truly saw that repukes were not out for the people.

the two that registered Repuke did so ONLY on the abortion issue :puke:

4. Iraq war is upmost on most of the male students
they also wanted to know what would happen if they didn't register. They are also pissed about the NCLB and giving their phone number to recruit
