I'm a high school student in Maryland, and I think that youth activism really needs to be addressed. Given all the attention being paid to young voters and encouraging young people to get involved in civics, I think its time that perhaps instead of adults thinking about how best to reach youth, an actual youth provide his opinion. We need to make some serious improvements.

So here you, rant & suggestions below the fold.

Anti-Iraq War activist Cindy Sheehan has announced that, because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not introduce Articles of Impeachment against President Bush by midnight last night, Sheehan will run against Pelosi for her San Francisco seat. Says Sheehan, "Not only am I going to run against her, but I will beat her."

For those of you who haven’t heard already, the poll numbers for the 110th Congress have hit new lows. With an approval rating in the 24-27 % range, and disapproval ratings in the 60-71 % range, America appears to be unhappier with the Congress than they are with the President (approval 26-31%, disapproval 60-66%). My question is, why is this happening?
