Showing Original Post only (View all)12 Year Old Publicly Schools Governor at Moral Monday Rally in North Carolina [View all]
Last edited Wed Oct 30, 2013, 01:21 AM - Edit history (2)
12 year old Madison Kimrey spoke at Burlington, North Carolinas downtown amphitheater on Monday, October 28, 2013. She discussed the new North Carolina voting laws and very eloquently pointed out that there is a serious leadership problem in North Carolina and the current State legislature (among other things) was trying to reduce voting participation of the states youth. Thankfully, Madison does not have her head in the sand and wants to spread the truth.I AM NOT A PROP!
I am part of the new generation of suffragettes and I will not stand silent while laws are passed to reduce the amount of young people in voter turnout in my home state!
Its bright minds like this young lady that give me hope for the future.
WATCH her brilliance via Story Of America:

Madison has more dignity, grace and intelligence than the Tea Party in the Senate and House. What a charming and articulate child. Maybe our "TP and Repuke" representatives could take a few lessons from her.

The governor thought she was a prop? More likely he feared losing a debate with her. n/t

Think of it, somewhere around 20 years from now, she just may be running for president.

How do you describe this 'blinking sense'? It makes all that you wrote undeciferable to me.

If English is your second language, don't criticize at "first glance," before taking a second look.
