60. I'm still young and i was young when democracy fell into my life
Hello Everyone, I'm sure we've had more Presidents than i can think of but my memory is vague and i can only think of a few people who have influenced my blooming democracy. Some of them of which are not particularly presidents but more people who stand for the people. So here's the list:

Bill Clinton: He had a good career as president despite the lewinsky trial and he left us with a huge surplus which President Bush wasted on the Iraq war.

2004 Candidate Wesley Clark: He was a purist he knew exactly what was wrong with this country, he knew exactly what had to be done in order to get things back on track again but unfortunately he dropped out of the race early.

2004 Candidate John Kerry: He stayed through the Election to the very end until he had to concede to President Bush, despite the fact that the Electoral votes were hacked by Bush and his brother Jeb Bush down in Florida.

Martin Luther King Jr.: He made a great speech for race and equality among blacks and caucasians (if i'm correct).

Rosa Parks: She survived the segregation era and stood up for the American peoples civil liberties when asked to move from her bus seat she didn't move she just stayed in her seat and that created a new movement to get rid of segregation laws (if i'm correct) and it created new civil liberties for the American people, she died at the age of 92 or 93.

That's my list of Presidents, presidential candidates and american people who have inspired my democracy. I hope to hear from you soon,good luck in all you do.
