President's Biography:
I've long been discriminated against because of my age. I got
involved in politics at the age of seven. I was told that I
wasn't old enough to know anything at the age of nine. I know
people high up in the Democratic Process who didn't even know when
election day was 2-3 months before an election. I know many kids,
on the other hand, who know a lot about more about government than most
voting adults. More recently I found a list of over 300 American
servicemen who died in Iraq without one opportunity to vote in a
presidential election. If you're going to die for your country
you first should at least have a say in who the Commander and Chief you
die under is. I was a founding officer of a political caucus,

Secretary's Biography:
At the age of 10, when Alex (along with his sister) applied for a
trademark for their own performance company, Office of Trademarks and
Patents sent him a letter stating that an adult would have to sign
on because the government would not allow minors to obtain a trademark
on their own. Alex is another teenager who has seen extensive
age discrimination in a great many ways. He has seen his
generation held down and defamed in school politics, socially and in
business. He has also witnessed, first hand, the attempts
of public school teachers to turn students with initiative, curiosity
and brains into mindless zombies. He has witnessed
the acts of age discrimination practiced by representatives
of both major parties. Now 16, Alex is a writer, actor, dancer,
inventor and political activist.
