To the 16-Year-Old Who Knocked on My Door, Asking That I Vote for Obama

by David Harris Gershon at The Daily Kos

You looked so young when I opened the door, a clipboard tucked against your side and your cheeks flushed, smiling expectantly.

I assumed at first that you were seeking donations for the high school baseball team or taking pledges for Jump Rope for Heart. But the first words out of your mouth were, "May I tell you why it's important to vote for Barack Obama?"

I was surprised, though I tried not to show it. That's why it took me a moment to respond.

All it contained was names and addresses scribbled in messy handwriting with sporadic check marks.

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
