Although I was not old enough to vote, I volunteered countless hours, wrote countless letters, and made dozens of phone calls for the Kerry campaign and my local Democratic Party. On Nov. 2, I was crushed by Kerry's defeat and by the rejection of so many of our senate candidates, but despite the loss, I felt encouraged. Even in the conservative atmosphere of my hometown, Yorba Linda, CA (Richard Nixon's birthplace), I could sense that people agreed with democrats on numerous issues and only voted republican because society said it was the "American," and "Christian" thing to do.
It was this observation that lead me to start my first PAC, Billboards for America. Our goal is to raise enough money to buy numerous billboards across the country telling the truth about Democrats and exposing the truth about Republicans. Although it is much less expensive than television or radio advertising, billboards still cost money and we need your help to get it up. Our goal is to raise $1000, by the end of May, so we can have our first billboard up by mid June. I encourage all of you to go to www.billboardsforamerica.com and if you can, provide a generous donation. Let's show those Republicans that even 15 year olds are up against them!
Thanks,
Derek Mazzeo
