My daughter arranged a mock election at her high school yesterday - so proud of her!!

My daughter prepared a powerpoint that was presented to the entire student body of her high school.

She focused on Obama's and Romney's positions that are most important to students and young adults -
education, college, jobs and women's health rights. She took the candidates' positions from their websites.

What my daughter found was that many students were really surprised that Romney was so anti-women's health
rights. It was a real eye opener for many.

Obama won the mock election. Students were talking about the issues on facebook and twitter all
day yesterday - she was so pleased! I am so proud of her!

1. That's what happens when people with functioning brains

actually look at facts and real positions and consequences of those positions. A huge majority of Americans, in that case, ALWAYS would vote for a Democrat.

2. Cool! Power Point can be made in to a downloadable presentation

Save it as a PPS and it can be sent out virally.
