Greetings!

My name is Victoria DePaul. I am the Coordinator of Youth in Action for Nation For Change. Nation for Change began as a grassroots organization in support of the candidacy of Barack Obama. While we remain committed to that objective we are also committed to being a positive agent of change for the Democratic Party. This is a great time to be an American. It is a great time to be a Democrat. When this race began we were faced with having to choose from amongst so many high caliber possibilities. Over the last months interest in our political process has sky rocketed as evidenced by high first time voter registrations.

It is not only citizens of voting age that are interested in this presidential campaign but our youngest citizens as well. If you doubt that ask any child of school-age who is running for president and you will be pleasantly surprised. In response to this enthusiasm and interest in our democratic political process, Youth in Action calls citizens of all ages to participate in a nation-wide mock Democratic National Convention. This first-ever nation-wide event will simulate a real Democratic Party convention, culminating in the selection of the democratic presidential nominee. The event will allow participants an experiential learning opportunity of government in action AND have fun.

So how will this happen? In all 50 states coordinators will organize activities throughout the summer that will give youths the opportunity for debate, campaigning and politicking. The event will also provide a platform for youths to be a ‘voice’ for the issues that are important to them. More information on this event can be found at:

www.AmericasVoiceNow.com.

Please consider how you can add your support to this event. We need coordinators, teachers, and participants of all ages, public relations assistance and more! Whatever your talent- I need you.

Please forward this information to everyone you know who is interested in the American political process and doesn’t mind having fun at the same time. Feel free to contact me at info@AmericasVoiceNow.com.

“We stand together, in unity to proclaim our commitment to equality and justice. We further proclaim our commitment to the democratic process that gives us our Voice. In our unified quest for diplomacy we are guided by the principles of wisdom, strength, compassion, integrity, and accountability. Our unified mission is to honor the vision of our founders who fought for our liberty. We understand that it is our similarities- a desire for economic justice, equality, and peace- that define us. We embrace our diversity as cause for celebration.”

We Are One.

We Are .....
