You write well for a fifteen-year-old. It’s unfortunate that you have to...deal with life in PG County, though.

Cheers from across the Potomac!

15 year olds can vote? Must be ACORN.

[helenaomalley]

thanks! I wanna be an author when I get older (not old enough to be taken seriously by a publisher -__-”)

[helenaomalley]

hahaha I wish I could, though. Like badly. I could cancel out a Nobama vote :D

[MDformerDem]

You could always try Pallotti instead of LHS ...

BTW, how will this student vote for Bobama if she's also 15? Or, is she just repeating a few grades?

[Old Student]

Hang in there! My 11-year-old daughter gets to spend all her lunch breaks explaining to a majority hispanic & black school why she's supporting McCain/Palin, and she's having a fair amount of success.

DO NOT let anyone tell you that one person can't make a difference.

You might start by asking your “friend” why Barak is going to fix this economic problem when his current economic adviser was running Fannie Mae a few years ago. Franklin Raines.

[helenaomalley]

I know too many people who go to Pallotti and...well..I wasn’t impressed. It’s a CINO, from what I’ve seen and heard, so why bother. Other people my differ their opinion, thats just what I think.

and I think she was a junior, but I get that type of thing from almost everyone.

[helenaomalley]

Thanks, and I’ve been doing that, but they’re too afraid to fight with me.

I’ve actually managed to get a few people to be pro-life once I explained what it was and how it was done. :D

Stay strong, Helena.

You’ll get lots of facts and moral support here.

These kinds of encounters build character. How you handle yourself speaks to the quiet ones watching, and listening to your words.

Welcome to FreeRepublic. This is where you get your real education.

[helenaomalley]

I’m actually looking toward Mt. St. Mary’s. Absolutely beautiful campus and I’ve been there for a religious retreat before. :]

Ask her why she thinks that Obama is garnering approximately 95% of the black vote?

No. Better yet...move out of PG County! (at least Carroll is a little bit better)

[helenaomalley]

Thank you very much, my dad markomalley convinced me to join. :]

it’s all his fault

[pnh102]

My goodness... you have balls bigger than B. Hussein Obama... or a death wish!

[rabidralph]

God bless you, Kiddo, and welcome to FR.

[helenaomalley]

haha, naw. It’d be too hectic for the time being. But after college my whole family and I are.

[helenaomalley]

thank you very much :D

[helenaomalley]

=D thanks...er...I think xD
