My final question was about what her own thoughts were as we begin the primaries and lead into the 2008 election and what being able to legally vote means to her. I couldn’t help but smile at her response,

"I'm excited to be able to vote for the first time because for a long time now I've been involved in politics without being able to vote. Now I think I can call myself a full fledged political junkie and activist."

Like she wasn’t already working for democracy full time?

She went on to add,

"If more young people voted, I believe there would be major change in this country. I hope that I will be in a large crowd of first time voters this year."

Just in the crowd? Somehow this writer thinks it will be Ava Lowery leading the crowd, straight to the polls this November.

*If you would like to help Ava Lowery complete her documentary please go to her website where you will find details on her work and on how you can help.
