However, I cannot run. I am not of age. Yet there are thousands of able-bodied Americans out there who can. And if you don’t, you are letting the cancer eat away at the tissue of America some more. You are taking a serious chance because this tumor may become irreversible and when it does, you will be filled with insurmountable regret.

Unfortunately, I do not know the first thing about getting organized and challenging incumbents in Indiana. I do not know the first thing about getting organized and challenging incumbents in any other state.

At the age of 19, however, I can say I have done the research and followed politics for over a year now since voting in my first election ever. And I know that it is my duty as a voter to react responsibly to the failures the Democratic Party is responsible for. That reaction is to vote against anyone who challenges a Democratic incumbent.

At this point, with no one stepping up to challenge Donnelly or anyone else, it is not too late yet (at least in Indiana---our primary is in May).

Here’s my pledge to anyone from Indiana: Enter the race and I will be a voice for your election. I will feverishly and tirelessly help you win. If you stand for all the things that the Democratic Party should stand for (and if you have any questions on this, you can contact Dennis Kucinich), then I will back you up until November 2006.

It’s my duty as a citizen to fight for the future of America. That’s all there is to it.

I'm serious...Leave me a comment and I will get back to you.
