Tomorrow there is a neighborhood planning process that I am going to attend. My city (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) underwent a terrible epic flood and citizens have been invited to share ideas.
I have been working on a voting proposal for children for the last year and a half… Does anyone know or can anyone find any research done on children and voting that I can use in my proposal? Should I leave it out? Does anyone have any ideas I can use in this proposal to convince the city officials that this is a good idea?
Our city used to be magical, but now it’s not. I grew up here and all of my memories are fond. My children are not having the same kinds of experiences that I had because things that were here are gone. For example, we used to have a drive in, a real mini zoo, pony rides, and fun community events such as parades and such….Anyway….
Here is my proposal….
Problem
Iowa is one of the first states to hold the presidential caucus during the election process when nominating the President of the United States. It is imperative we instill voting habits into our young people. My children and their friends have told me that they do not feel as if their vote will ever make a difference. I believe that is because they are never given the opportunity to vote for anything that is of interest to them.
Research has been done on children and their ability to make rational decisions.(having problems here) I believe that if children were asked to be involved in a larger community effort that they would be much more politically aware and involved than other children across the state that are not. I understood how I could make a difference in my own life. I agree with these people. However, I have learned that my children have a unique respect for things they had to work to get. I know that children can prove to be quite responsible if they experience some setbacks or disappointments when they are allowed to vote on issues. How can they complain when they are the ones who voted for it? Of course things may need to go back to the table to be revised. Kids need to know that the political process is a long drawn out process. It is grueling task; a battle of the wills of the masses.
A responsible voter will know the issue, walk into the booth with a clue as to who is who, and for what, and will confidently cast their vote. I spent many years guessing my way through the voting process and I do not trust that the process has gotten any easier. The fact of the matter is I have voted for people because I was not taught how to vote and did not understand the permanency of my vote until it was too late.
Proposal
I propose the City allot a portion of land for children to turn into a voting project. Children could come up with ideas and elect themes that then could go forward to be approved by the city council. Themes could be options that the City office gives to the students or ideas that the students come up with. Votes could be cast through the school system assigning each student to a computerized ballot. The computers can be programmed so that each student will have an opportunity to vote on the project.
Senior citizen volunteers can offer a harmonizing tone to the project. Seniors have a unique understanding of the voting process and can help decide on two of the most cost efficient and utilitarian causes. I am sure there are senior groups in this city that can appreciate the opportunity to leave an impression on a young person’s voting life.
Justification
The idea is to teach children the voting process while involving them in a community project. I think that kids these days have lost a lot of respect for the sanctity of the family and the community. It would not do us any good to talk and teach if we never give them any goals. This is an opportunity for two groups of people who usually feel left out the system to take part in something that the whole community can enjoy. Any project that has seniors mentoring youth usually come out positive for both groups that do not usually have much say in the community.
Conclusion
•Awards from the vote could be positive or negative. It teaches children the value of their individual voice and allows them to express it in a productive way.
•The current attitude held by the majority of the kids I have talked to said they would love this. I think that it would teach our kids respect for property, voting, and the permanency of choices.
•This project could pull the whole community together and attract families to the area because of its unique respect for both the youth and senior citizens.
•To have both suppressed groups, children and the elderly, to be a part of the community, and feel more at home.
•Finally, this would give Cedar Rapids children the opportunity to express their voice, make it count, and get them more involved in their future.
This proposal is for older children and politics ARE NOT for OLD people!
really all I need is stats nothing more.

Kayla: 14-Year-Old on Algore’s Movie
March 30, 2007
RUSH: To the phones we’ll start in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We have a 14-year-old named Kayla, and you’re first. It’s such a pleasure to have you with us today.
CALLER: It’s a pleasure to talk with you, Rush. I wanted to say just how stupid and idiotic Algore’s movie is. We were required to watch it in geography class because apparently it has to do with the fate of the world and the theocracy, apparently. At least that’s what our teacher said, so I’m taking it that our geography teacher is definitely a liberal. Now everyone is walking around the school talking about how all the polar bears are drowning and that we’re all going to die. It’s crazy.
RUSH: You didn’t fall for it, though, it sounds like?
CALLER: No, I think it’s really stupid.
RUSH: Why are you so different than anybody else?
CALLER: Well, if you remember like a while ago, 50 years ago, they were complaining about global cooling.
RUSH: It wasn’t 50 years ago. It was like 30.
CALLER: Thirty? Somewhere in there.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: They were complaining about global cooling and now they’re complaining about global warming.
RUSH: Let me ask you a question out there, Kayla. Let’s say that the global cooling scare of 1979 and ‘80 had stuck and let’s say that instead of all this global warming, let’s say that we were freezing and Greenland was expanding and Antarctica were expanding and the ice sheets are going nuts and we’re threatened here. Do you think Algore would do a movie advocating everybody would go out and buy the biggest SUV possible and drive it around? Do you think Algore would be doing a movie that would advocate more factories, more smokestacks, more cows expelling gas, methane, everything that they say is causing warming? Do you think they would advocate that very so-called pollution to warm up the planet?
CALLER: You never know. He probably would, knowing Algore. He’s kind of cuckoo.
RUSH: No, wouldn’t happen. It would not happen.
CALLER: Hmm.
RUSH: It wouldn’t happen because then they’d be terribly conflicted because they’d be advocating pollution — and besides, the reason they wouldn’t is that they’d be promoting capitalism. This global warming movement, the whole thing is nothing but an anti-capitalist rant. It’s a religion, it’s not science, and the proof of this is — you said it was geography class where you had to watch this?
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: Are they giving you anything counter to it? Are they showing you anything else or asking you to read something that disagrees with Algore’s propaganda?
CALLER: Nope.
RUSH: Of course not. They say it’s science, right?
CALLER: Yep.
RUSH: Well, how can there be science when so many scientists disagree with it?
CALLER: Exactly.
RUSH: If there’s consensus, it can’t be science. It’s impossible. Science is not up to a vote. Science is what it is. This is no different than a bunch of idiots saying the world flat, getting 3,000 scientists come up with an agreement and going to the UN. That wouldn’t make it flat. They would just say there’s a consensus, and a bunch of brain-dead idiots that follow along would somehow believe it. Are you threatened by your disagreement? Do you make your disagreement in class public?
CALLER: Yeah, I did, because we had to do our opinion on it, and everybody else says, “Oh, it’s real,” and I ended up getting yelled at by everybody else after class saying, “You’re an idiot.”
RUSH: How do you react? I mean, does it threaten you?
CALLER: No, no. I know what I believe, and I think it’s right, and I’m not going to fall for this.
RUSH: In this case you don’t have to think it’s right. You can be very confident that you’re right.
CALLER: Exactly.
RUSH: Let’s see, I was going to ask you one other question about this. Have your parents been forced to go to the class and watch it, too?
CALLER: Nope.
RUSH: That’s happening in Florida.
CALLER: Hmm.
RUSH: Kids are being told their parents have to come and watch this Gore movie or they might suffer consequences in their grade.
CALLER: That’s crazy.
RUSH: Yeah. It’s more than crazy. It’s frightening. Some of these parents are coming out of there and they’re becoming true believers in this propaganda as well. It’s an ongoing battle. But here, look, I have the brand-new issue of the Limbaugh Letter here, folks, with me on the cover as Moses. Let me zoom in here on this just to show you. I’m rolling back the global warming BS. That’s the cover story in the latest issue of the Limbaugh Letter. You’ll be getting yours soon. I, of course, as editor and publishing get mine first before anybody else does. I’m still waiting for my peace mug. We got the samples back yesterday. There’s something wrong with the color. So there was a tiny little color problem. We sent ‘em back to the manufacturer. I’m going to get my sample of the final peace mug product on Monday, then they’ll be good to go. Kayla, it’s great to hear from you. Keep it up. Don’t buckle. You’re on the right side of this.
