I am a 16 year old high school student and an active conservative Republican. I participated in the 2000 election campaigns for the Bush presidency and attended the protests at the Vice President's mansion when the 2000 election was in dispute. I worked in the 2001 congressional elections to help campaign for many local Republican candidates. Most recently in 2002 I helped to place signs in my area and took a day of school off on election day to work at the polls in support of conservative candidates. I enjoy political discussions and I defend and fight for my beliefs in the Republican party no matter how great the opposition. (And there is a lot of opposition at my school.)
