If you haven't heard about Ms. Kimrey, you really need to watch this precocious pre-teen. (the cake girl), and feel proud of the next generation of activists. She started a petition with Moveon, and got 12k signatures to sit down with McCrony (oops) and talk about voting rights. |

When he didn't take her seriously, she created a youtube video to hopefully engage him in a conversation. |

Unfortunately, Madison still waits for a meeting with the governor. But this wonderful young person is a joy to be around, and smart as a whip. Good luck, Madison!
If you want to help, feel free to tweet the governor at @PatMcCroryNC , and let him know you stand behind my friend, and wonderful advocate, and regardless of her age, she (and her family) are North Carolinians petitioning their governor for a brief meeting.
This young woman is amazing. She is not being pushed by her family... she's just that much of a special individual.
Not one step back,
