Who says you have to be 18 to make change on Election Day?

I was walking back to my car at a polling location in Oxford, Miss. when I noticed that one campaigner looked a little young.  She had an Obama sign and was waving it at each car that passed by on the busy road in front of her.  I decided to go over and say hello.

I found out that her name was Alexus Malone, and she was a student at Oxford Middle School. 

Here is a part of my discussion with this politically active 13 year old:

It’s refreshing to know that it’s not just young voters that are getting into this election; it’s youth in general.  

It just goes to show you that it doesn’t matter how old you are.  If you want change bad enough, you’ll do what you can anyways.  After all, every little bit helps.
