This will be a quick one, just so that we can get the speculation going! It seems that George Voinovich, 2-term U.S. Senator from the most competitive state in the union, is calling it quits after his term ends in 2010.

I am a senior high school student at a progressive. independent school in Western Massachusetts.

Last week, I had the tremendous experience of visiting New Orleans up close and personal, with my entire school. We did community service, talked to politicians, organizers, radicals, developers, and locals, wrote, filmed, and photographed our time there, and brought it home with us to share.

My time there left me deeply moved and concerned. The city is in shock, and its people are suffering. There is no money and no plan; basic services such as electricity, water, and heat are nonexistent for many. There is much contention over what to do, but all agree that if New Orleans is to be rebuilt, the work must start in earnest NOW.

I wrote this to raise awareness, to provoke dialogue, and to deal with my own thoughts and feelings about this city, one of our oldest and most precious, which is now dying in front of us. Plaese comment and leave your own thoughts, insights, experiences and impressions. Thank you very much.

Good People of Daily Kos, hear my plea:

I am a 18-year-old high school senior in Western Massachusetts. I go to a very small (80-90 students) private school.

Recently, several students and I decided to form a small activism and politics group focusing on opposing conflict and advocating nonviolent solutions through the political process. This came about largely as a reaction to the heartening results of the midterm elections in November and more recently the controversy over Bush's "troop surge" and the growing tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

Out of the 80-something students at my school, more than 20 have expressed interest, and we hope to attract more. Political awareness is growing in my generation, and we want to affect some change, if we can. The problem is, we don't really know how...
