Do you remember the tears that filled your eyes and the pride that swelled your heart as you saw the amazing acts of heroism in the days after September 11, 2001? The last thing the 9-11 terrorists... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I received this book when I heard one of the program founders speak about the program that five students along with two adults helped to found. After I read the book, I was deeply moved by the things that teenagers like me went out and did in 2002. They shattered the voter turnout record for a non-Presidential election. This time I wanted to be apart of it. This is the ultimate story of how teens aren't the pessimistic, drug and alcoholic abusing, non-caring individuals that the media portrays us to be. No way! This is us going out and showing that we do care, and most of us won't be able to vote in the upcoming election. Freedom's Answer is a non-partisan program that motivates high school students as well as college students to go out register people to vote, asks them to pledge their vote, and doesn't do it for a party or individual, but simply because they want people to exercise their right as an American since that freedom has been defended by our servicemen and women. If you want to see more about the program, the website is: www.FreedomsAnswer.net If you want the accounts of students around the nation too young to vote, but old enough to lead, then this is the book for you. It will truly change the way you look at the generation that is defined by a Tuesday morning of tragedy. It will show you that in the midst of chaos, teens could join forces from different sects to unite under the country that has given them so much. No more partisan politics or dirty campaigns... teens are leading the campaign of unity and patriotism within this country. Terrorism attacked democracy on 9/11, but in November of 2004, as students did in 2002, you will hear Freedom's Answer.
