 I have shut down the website while I try to figure out what is happening.

I can't agree with everything Obama is doing right now!

You can't create Wealth in average people by taking money from Wealthy People!

I believe you can be a Democrat and still have some conservative principles and moral values consistent in America's values.

I believe America is the Greatest Country in the History of the World!

My Dad has lost all his money in the Stock Market.

My Grandfather has lost his job.

My friends families have lost their homes.

 It's time to fix things, not Tax people.

 I worked up to 4 jobs a day to pay for my Own College.

Now I am trying to pay my way to Law School and help the people of America....regardless of their race, social status or wealth to get equal treatment under the law... I need your help and your prayers.

Won't you please help me....you can donate any amount by clicking the paypal button below.

FAQ

You guessed it. On this page you will find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. Got a question not answered here? Please get in touch.

1. What is the idea?
2. Who are you?
3. Are you genuine/is this a joke?
4. How did you come up with the idea?
5. Why do you need $1m for University?
6. What will you do with the money?
7. Why should I buy your pixels?
8. Why can't I buy one single pixel?
9. How long will the site be online?
10. Why are you selling the pixels in dollars?
11. If you want money for college why don't I become a Republican?

1. What is the idea?


The idea is simple: to try and make $1m (US) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each. Hence, "One Million Reasons Why". The main motivation for doing this though is not to just pay for my education, but to show the World One Million Reasons Why I don't like Bush. If I can do that I will be happy, because if the good people of America do not Stand up and tell the Truth about Bush, the entire World might end... Not a nice thought!

I am selling the pixels to pay for my education and my sister education, and to fund my political and social activities while in College. So, everyone is welcome to buy my pixels, which are available in 100-pixel 'blocks' (each measuring 10x10 pixels). You will see the homepage is divided into 10,000 of these 100-pixel blocks (hence there are 1,000,000 pixels in total). The reason for selling them in 100-pixel blocks is because anything smaller would be too small to display anything meaningful.

You can buy as many pixels as you like, as long as there are some available (see the live stats in the top right corner of the page). When you buy some pixels, you can then display an image/ad/logo of your choice in the space you have purchased. You can also have the image click through to your own website. However, no obscene or offensive images are allowed. You don't have to have a "reason to not like Bush" on your website, you can just show your support for this web site that tells the truth about Bush and with the thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of hits the site gets you link will certainly be a good business investment. NO SEX sites allowed.

The pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently. The homepage will not change. Using some of the money I make from the site, I guarantee to keep it online until Bush is out of office,and for at least 5 years, but hopefully much longer. I want it to become a kind of internet time capsule. So, in the long run, I believe the pixels will offer good value. You will have a piece of internet history!

2. Who are you?



My name is Ted Gambordella and my father is one of the Biggest Republican's and George Bush Supporters in the World. He listens to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity 6 hours a day, and has made me listen every since I have been alive.

When I told him I wasn't going to become a Republican and that I didn't like Bush. He told me he wasn't going to pay for my college, so I came up with this idea to pay for my own College and NOT BECOME A REPUBLICAN. So I want to go to College to get a Masters Degree in Political Science and become a Politician and DEFEAT THE REPUBLICANS before they ruin America More.

When he asked me why I didn't like Bush...I told him I had a MILLION REASONS, and he said "bull". So I started this site to prove it!

So I started this web site, and I want to get everyone in the World who do not like Bush to take out an Ad or link to a web site and share with the World Why they also don't like Bush, until we get the One Million reasons to not like Bush, and I bet my college paid for.

So I am asking you to help me buy buying a Link to a web page that tells the World Why You don't like Bush, and I promise I won't stop until we get 1 Million Reason Why filled up and promoted across the World. It's not too late to stop Bush!

I will keep a running count of all the reasons and update it daily.

Top

3. Are you genuine/is this a joke?



I am completely genuine, honest, sincere, intelligent and a proud Democratic. When my father told me that if I didn't become a Republican he would not pay one penny towards my higher education. I began to think of how I could raise the money myself and I came up with this web page idea.

The purpose of the web page is two fold. First and Foremost to show the World One Million Reasons to not like Bush and Second to Pay for my College. If all I achieve from this is the first, then I will be happy.

Here is Teddy and His Sister Thinking of More Reasons to not like Bush.

Top

4. How did you come up with the idea?


I was in shock for a few weeks after my father told me that if I didn't become a Republican and forsake America he would not pay for my higher education, not one penny. When he asked me why I didn't want to be a Republican, I quickly told him I didn't like Bush. He of course said "why?" and my hasty reply was.

I can think of One Million Reasons Why. He said prove it. and I said I WOULD EASY. I thought about it, began doing some research on the Internet and found to my surprise that Millions of other thoughtful, intelligent, compassionate people also didn't like Bush. I literarily found 100,000 of thousands of web pages and hundreds of thousands of links to web site, with thousands of pages, and even web sites with a Million petitions against Bush. It was then I realized that it would be Easy to find the Million Reasons to not like Bush, and if I shared those reasons with enough people, and actively promoted the site, it would attack millions of people to view the Truth about Bush and thus generate "traffic" and that would translate into Business and information and that would be worth the $1 a pixel price, and that would generate my College Money.

Top

5. Why do you need $1m for University?


I don't. Textbooks might be expensive, but they're not that steep! But with this project I knew I had to aim high - my thinking being that even if I only got 1 or 2 percent of a million dollars, that would help me out. I want to attend a Liberal University, and of extreme high quality. The schools I am looking at cost $50,000 + tuition a year, plus expenses and of course I need a car, home and political supplies.

I had to do something, anything to show my father that the Democrat way is the Only Way I will ever go, and if that means raising my own money for college, then with your help. I am going to do it.

Top

6. What will you do with the money?



First and foremost, if I make enough money, I will pay my way through University. That includes 4 years worth of tuition fees, accommodation fees, textbooks etc, and being Very Very active in the campus political community as well as local political community. I intend to run for Class offices, and even local offices to begin my campaign to Take Back America for the People.

2nd I am going to buy a hybrid car and put a giant sign on the side that says One Million Reasons Why.Com, so every where I go people can see the sign and go to the web site.

I want to go to College to get a Masters Degree in Political Science and become a Politician and DEFEAT THE REPUBLICANS before they ruin America More.

After that, I would like to pay for my Sisters education too, so she Won't have to become a Republican and stay true to her Democratic Beliefs and get an education too.

Teddy is trying to Save his Sister from Becoming a Republican too!

Thirdly... I want to tour the US and The World sharing with the people of the World One Million Why I don't like Bush.

Finally... if I reach the $1m target and still have money left over I want to use it to Run for office in my home State of Texas, and one day become Governor and even perhaps President.

Top

7. Why should I buy your pixels?



Because you will have an image and a link to your site on the homepage of a site that could potentially be seen by millions of people over the coming years. The site will be online for at least 5 years, that's guaranteed, but the idea is to keep it online forever. So you really could own a piece of 'internet history'!

I have people all over the World thinking with me right now of their reasons to not like Bush. What more could you ask for...You are helping tell the people of the World the truth about Bush, and you are helping fund the education of a future Democratic Leader.

Top

8. Why can't I buy one single pixel?


I decided that although it would probably be cool if individuals could buy a single pixel each, in practice, it wouldn't so effective. The reason I believe this is because you can't display anything meaningful in one pixel - nor click it easily - so visually, it would be pointless. With thousands of random tiny colored dots all over the place, the homepage would look ghastly.

I also thought that the site would appeal more to people with businesses/websites to advertise than it would to individuals, or to put it more accurately, businesses would pay more to have a meaningful graphic on the homepage. Hence the minimum purchase is $100 - a 10x10 block.

That being said, I strongly believe that if you can afford the $100 and have a Reason Why you don't like Bush, then please let me help you share that with the World.

If you really want to own a single pixel, there is always the option of clubbing together with your friends/family/colleagues and buying a 10x10 block.

Top

9. How long will the site be online?


The site will be online for the rest of Bushes' term in office and a few more years just incase one of his brothers, cousins, or family cretin decides to try to take over the White House.

The idea is to create something of an internet time capsule: a homepage that is unique and permanent. Everything on the internet keeps changing so fast, it will be nice to have something that stays solid and permanent for many years. You can be a part of that!

Top

10. Why are you selling the pixels in dollars?


I think US dollars are the closest thing we have to a universal currency on the internet, so it made more sense to do it in dollars.

Also, given that the US has the largest online population in the world, more people will be able to relate to the concept.

Top

11. If you want money for college why don't I become a Republican?


Although I've been indoctrinated by my father for 17 years. My mind is simply too Smart to believe all the Republican crap. I know deep in my heart that the Democratic Party is the True Party of America and that the mean spirited Republicans are only out for business business and power. I can not betray my heart and America by becoming a Republican.

GOP dad refuses to support Young Dem student

by seesdifferent [Subscribe]

Sat Mar 11, 2006 at 08:52:22 AM PDT

Talk about your ReThugs; a junior at my son's high school has been cut off from support for college by his father, because the boy is a member of the high school Young Democrats.  The school district is Highland Park, an enclave of rich Republicans in the middle of Dallas.  This is serious Bush/Cornyn country. Dick Cheney used to shoot men in the face live halfway between our house and the high school (we are on the wrong side of the tracks, but still go to the same high school).  Highland Park High School did not even have a Young Dem club until my daughter helped to found it 5 years ago. My son is currently one of the officers. Here is some of the Dallas Morning News (registration) article

Ted Gambordella dislikes the idea that his only son...is a Democrat. he loathes it so much that he has flat-out refused to pay for his son's college education unless he becomes a Republican.
"Yeah, I'm serious," said MR. Gambodella..."he's got to earn his own way."

That suits Teddy just fine.

MORE

The 17 year old said there's no way he'll switch to the GOP just to get his fathers' financial backing. He recently started a Web site --One Million Reasons Why I Don't Like Bush--to raise money for college.
"It's not about the money," said Teddy, [a member of HP's state championship wrestling team ] "It's about spreading knowledge about Bush and his administration and proving my dad wrong. It's more of a principle thing."
The premise is similar to milliondollarhomepage.com, started by a 21-year-old Brit in August to pay for college.
Supporters purchase pixels - dots on a computer screen - as advertising space.
The pixels cost $1 a pop, with a minimum purchase of 100.
...."I don't see him changing my mind," he said, seated next to his dad, who shook his head and rolled his eyes. "I see me changing his mind. It's easy to come up with a million reasons" to dislike President Bush.
Mr. Gambordella countered that he was liberal in college. Now the martial arts instructor and author listens to Rush Limbaugh ....
Though Teddy admits he's new to the political scene, it's something he wants to stick with.
He went to a Dallas County Young Democrats meeting in mid-January and attended a Young Democrats meeting at Highland Park High School last week. He said it was cool to hang out with people who see the world the way he does.
"They weren't crazy like my dad tries to make me believe," he said.
......
Mr. Gambordella said he may not agree with his son's politics, but he's proud that Teddy is showing initiative. He hopes Teddy's site kick-starts some "intelligent" discussions.
"Democrats are too extreme. If they had some moderate voices," Mr. Gambordella said, his voice trailing off as Teddy's eyes rolled back into his head.
"I could be that voice," the teen suddenly chimed in.
His father chuckled and shook his head.
"He'll grow out of it."
Don't be too sure, dad. And don't expect him to enroll at Texas A&M. Teddy is trying to get the word out, and has raised about a thousand dollars so far.  I am not sending him money, but I give the kid a lot of credit. The advisor for the Young Democrats vouches for him. It's tough being a Dem in these parts. My daughter split for more progressive climes and my son is soon to follow.

I want to say what you are doing is a great thing i am to democrat but probably for diffrent reasons then you. i would like to wish you the best of luck for college and for everything else in your life.

 Hey Teddy,
My name is Matthew, i'm 17 from Raleigh, NC.  I just seen your part on Inside Edition.  I admire you. lol...anyone who can stand up for themselves like that is awesome in my book.  Thats partly whats wrong with this country now, people voting on the side their parents are.  Its about time we start standing up for ourselves. 
  I grew up in a republican family, but guess what...I'M DEMOCRAT. lol...It shouldn't be about what your family is, it needs to be about what u believe in. 

Matthew

I'd like to support you in your endeavor (having seen the article in The Dallas Morning News). I haven't got a website yet, and may or may not get one. However, I'd like to support you by buying a set of pixels for future use, when I get a website. Is it possible to buy a set of pixels now, and at a later time, make a link to my future website. How would I go about doing that; I may get a simple single page to start, perhaps just to show my support. Then, later, expand it.

I was a Republican, but have become disillusioned, and now consider myself independent. (I plan to vote against any incumbent in the Texas race.

(I've signed up to support Kinky Friedman).

Please forgive my rambling and wasting your time, if I have. But, I'm all for your spirit of initiative, and wanted to help.

Thanks.,

Dr. D  E

Hey Teddy,
 
Saw your spot on Inside Edition.  Good for you taking this matter into your own hands.  Let me know how to do it and I will buy some pixels for my business from you.
 
Look forward to hearing from you and good luck in your future endeavors.
 
Sincerely,


Dave

Hey. I'm sure you get this all the time. I stumbled across your website by accident though. And as alot of people have told you, i totally admire what you're doing by standing up for yourself. And i wanted to tell you you're gorgeous! lol. For real. 

Jennipher.

I will support your drive. In a few days, I will buy into your project.

Tell your dad that the thing abt us...democrats is that our mission is to live and let live, we do NOT impose our views on others and neither should he.

If you think abt it, it has always been the democrats that have fought for human rights in the history of our country and it is up to you to educate your sister on her rights as a woman (woman right to choose), etc.

Right now, she may be afraid of letting her dad down, but in the process...she might be letting herself down.

DutchTeddy

I am a parent.. I would not make my son register in the party of my choice just so I would pay for college or any other necessity. What sort of role model is he that he wants you to not to think for yourself. That's one of the basic precepts of good parenting--teaching our children to be independent, free thinkers. Not to mention the freedom that is a right in this country.

Hi teddy-

I'm Gary C  (but you can call me Casey). I saw you on inside edition. My father is also a staunch republican, and I'm a liberal democrat. My father always said that "he didn't raise his son like this". We've get into political arguments all of the time, so I know where you're coming from. I'm a freshman in college, and I hope your dad comes around. Once I get my paycheck, I'll buy a pixel or two on your site.

Just wanted to say hi, and that I think your site's awesome.

Take Care,

Casey, 19, Pennsylvania

Teddy,
I just saw your story on Inside Edition.
Loved it.
I'll be sending money.  Enjoy college!

hey! my name is katie and i'm a high school senior 2.

i just wanted to tell you good luck on what you're trying to do! i know exactly how you feel- i'm from louisiana, which being from texas you should already have an idea of whats coming, and my dad told me that if i went to another SEC school besides LSU he wouldn't pay for it, so now im trying to find some way to pay for uga. so seeing you find a way to do pay for college while proving your dad wrong is awesome and i hope you get enough money! well thats it! good luck again! -kt

Congratulations for standing up for what you believe is right!  I am as proud of you as I am my children who refused to compromise their integrity during college--i.e. they didn't go the party route.  Of course, they knew if they didn't get a 3.0 GPA, the money wouldn't be forthcoming. Not giving them money for less than a 3.0 GPA is an incentive to stay focused and to be successful.  However, your father is blackmailing you for his own purposes. Bravo!!  you recognized what he is doing and you refused to allow your integrity to be sullied.  Keep up the good work.  You have my support.  I will figure out how to send my $1.00.  Just think if all Democrats send you one dollar you will have plenty of money to stay in college through your doctorate.  BTW what is your major.

Hi Teddy,

I found out about your website and your cause through http://www.smirkingchimp.com -- check it out if you haven't already! I just wanted to let you know how much I support what you're doing. I'm a poor grad.

student (in speech-language pathology, in Boston), so am unable to buy pixels at this time, but I pledge to do so once I get a job after graduation (so, sometime after Dec. '07). I just hope you have some left! :)

I have been a Democrat and a proud Liberal my entire life, and this party could really use people like you.

I hope you run for office someday, especially in a place like Texas, where the tide is starting to turn in our direction. Make no mistake about it--Bush did NOT win in 2000 and stole the election again in '04.

One day Texas will go blue, and you will be part of the reason why. I doubt it will be in play for '08 though, so you should try to volunteer in a swing state before the election (and on election day!) that year. As a staunch supporter of Howard Dean, I couldn't bring myself to work directly for Kerry's campaign, but I hooked up with organizations such as MoveOn and America Coming Together (now part of America Votes). Now I'm involved with Democracy for America and a local progressive group. I only wish I had been mature enough at your age to get involved!

You are an inspiration not just to other teenagers but to older people as well.

Best of luck to you Teddy!

Cheers,

Hi,Teddy
A liberal Democrat from the state of Oregon.Maybe you and your Dad could sit
down listen to the Ed Schultz show,or the Stephanie Miller show, or Al Franken
show, and there is the Thom Hartmann radio program,he broadcast out of Portland,
Oregon.that way he could get a new point of view.Good luck with your schooling.
Terry

I wish you lots of luck on raising money for college. Just in case things don't go perfectly, and not that I would advocate selling out, but I would just mention that you can always register as a Republican and still vote for whoever you want to. At least so far, it's still a secret ballot and nobody else's business who you vote for - not even your Dad's. I'm very grateful to you and other young people who are smart enough to see through the most corrupt government we've had in my long lifetime. You go, guy!

Sincerely,

Grandma Lucy

Teddy,

I'm not sure if you remember me but I'm Andrew  father (you wrestled with him at W.T. White). I picked up the paper to see if they had me in there (I'm running for Dallas School Board) and I saw the picture with you and your Dad in the Editorials. I just read the original story and want to tell you that I am very proud of you for taking a stand on something you feel very deeply about.

Last May, I became very disillusioned with the Democratic Party and officially broke off from them. I consider myself an Independent now because the Republican Party doesn't appeal to me either. I watched your music video (can't wait for the final

version) and you were on point about Bush. But in the big scheme of things, it's not about Bush, Republicans or Democrats -- it's about people like you and I getting out to the polls and encouraging those we know to do the same to keep these self-serving people

(politicians) out of office who destroy our lives and this country.

I will purchase pixels on your behalf between now and when you graduate so that you can go to college.

Andrew is attending college locally and will transfer to a four-year in about 1 year. I emailed him the article to read -- I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it. Tell your Dad I said "hello" and to just chill -- he and your Mom have raised a great young man and they both should be proud. Take care and stay in touch.

Sincerely,

Linus S

hello,
  i heard about you on foxtv and i`m inclined towards what you`re doing, not because you really wanna go to college but because you are--in my view against some of President Bush`s policies--this happens to put us on the same page.
  i`d like to help you with some money for college to support you!
Travis

Your Dad sounds like a bit of a jerk, no insult intended. My parents are uber-republicans, in spite of the fact that they are not fans of the god squad. However, they did pay for my BA from San Francisco State and my MA from NYU (both bastions of evil, liberal thought). Although I am now a 40-something mother of 2 teenagers, I still cannot discuss politics with my family when I go down for visits as it leads to bitter arguments and me flying home early. My kids are both liberal Democrats and rabidly opposed to the Bush regime. As a parent, I am proud of you standing up for your principles. As a Democrat, I support you with my

$25 and by sending your website to all my Democratic friends (as I received it from my best friend in NYC).

Very best of luck to you in all your aspirations; I've no doubt you'll go far!

I hope you get the money you need!  I only wish everyone actually believed that Bush is the worst.  I still can't believe anyone voted for him.  I wish I had enough money to help you, but I don't.  I just wanted to support you with my kind words--unfortunately, they are free.  BUSH IS THE WORST!  Stick to your guns--maybe someday your father will wake up. Sincerely, Harriet G

Just wanted to let you know that you made the NYC market today.  The NY Post had a small article about you.

 

I抎 love to read the reasons you hate Bush.  Maybe I could help you add a few more? J  haha

I want to send along to you my admiration this morning, I think what you are doing is very inspiring. We need more people like you standing up for principles.

I want you to know that I'm discussing with both organizations the purchase of ad space on your website. Keep up the fight young man, I know how hard it is to get an education. I've been working full time during the day and attending school at night to get my education. I'm 26 years old and still humming along at it. Keep up the fight man, keep up the fight.

If you ever want to chat or anything or wish to attend a TCYD meeting sometime, give me a call   . Take care,

As a person who believes in democracy and in freedom of speech, I sympathize with you wholeheartedly. In my opinion, political views and affiltration should not have any influence in whether or not a person receives financial assistance from his or her parents.
 
If your dad is refusing to give you financial assistance on the basis of your political views, then he is betraying the first a foremost principle on which America was founded - as a democracy. In a democracy, people ought to be free to have any political views they wish, whether it be liberalism, conservatism, anarchism, Marxism, or Nazism, as long as they don't incite violence.
 
Despite being a pro-life, pro-gun conservative, I disapprove of Bush. He is a man of no principle, and he had illegitimate and unconstitutional reasons for invading Iraq. I am in the UK by the way, where we have abortion on demand, too many welfare programs, and your aren't even allowed to carry a knife for self-defence, let alone a gun.
 
I hope to donate �-� to your cause.

Hey,
 
I wish I had even a dollar in my bank account because I'd definitely buy a pixel, but anyhow, that's what's up dude. It's too bad more kids our age aren't doing more shit like this, but people like you are helping to change that.

Lucus

I read about your story in the Dallas Morning News.  I had a similar issue when I was facing college.  My mother would have paid for it had I gone to where she wanted me to go -- Texas Tech.  I didn't want to do things on her terms.  I wanted to go to the University of North Texas to do things on my terms (right reason) and live with my then girlfriend/now ex-wife (wrong reason).  Looking back, I'm proud I made my own way through school.  I appreciate my experiences and education more than if I hadn't worked for them.  Your idea of selling web space is a great start.  Good luck.

WillYour dad doesn't get it. Typical republican bully attitude. " Either you see the world my way or I'll hurt you "


Hang in there man. I was even farther gone than you. I voted for Bush the first time and belittled those who who didn't. It wasn't until 9/11 that I realized this cat doesn't have a clue. We've more debt than ever, he's borrowed more foreign money than all 42 presidents before him combined, he's bankrupted the country and our children and grandchildren will be paying for it, he gives tax cuts to the wealthy while running up a war debt, he lied about the war, he still lies about the war, he has business dealings with the Bin Laden family, he cuts education every chance he gets, tries to integrate church and state, cuts medicare, cuts the school lunch program for disadvantaged children, he tried to sell the ports to the UAE, his administration is the most corrupt I can remember, he's revoking our civil rights, he's outing CIA officers who disagree with him,  and the guy just isn't very bright. Hell, he couldn't find New Orleans on the map. I don't know that the Dems are the clear choice, but the Republicans clearly are NOT the choice.

challenge your dad to come up with 10 positive things Bush has done.

Tom

Teddy, I read your story in the Dallas Morning News and all I can say is "Good for you."  Your father should be ashamed of himself for putting pressure on you to think a certain way.  Tell him about Air America Radio 910 am.  If he listens to that (the truth about what is going on in our country) rather than Rush, he will see soon the light and be lining up with you on the left side of the aisle.
 
He needs to know that Rush is the brainwasher.  Let's see if he will give it a chance.  A good portion of Americans who voted for Bush are finally seeing the light.
 
I may send you some money later in the year for college;.  Where are you planning to go and what are you going to study?

Hat's off to you for doing what you're doing.  It takes brains and guts and that's what America's supposed to be about.
 
Good for you!  We need more like you out there.

Way to go! Stand up for your rights and your beliefs! I read your story in today's online edition of The Dallas Morning News.
 
I have sent emails to several of my friends to let them know of your situation and I hope that you are successful in your venture.
 
I grew up a Republican in the Park Cities. I graduated from HPHS in 1975. While most of my peers went off to school I stayed in Dallas and attended Richland Community College for two years and then transferred to Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX. I received a bachelor's degree in Radio-TV-Film in 1980 and soon went to work as a news and sports reporter. I worked in several markets throughout Texas. Along the way, I realized that the Republican party was not in line with my thinking and I switched over to the Democratic party.
 
Where are you considering attending college?
 
Keep up the good work. If there's anything I can do to help you, please email me and let me know.

It seems rather infantile that your father can't let you support and vote for who you want. Of course that is the republican party in a nutshell. I am 55 yrs young. I have mostly voted democrat. Did vote for Reagan in his first term. Then realized what a grave mistake that was. Anyway I am sure your dad loves you. Just wish he loved you enough to let you grow your own way and get a college education. You might ask him what else he is going to pick for you in life, a wife, your friends, what books to read??? Tell him you would like his permission to be able to think! My father was a lifelong repub, and we differed the same as you and your dad on politics. But he was very supportive of me and helped me alot in college.
 
By the way I believe there are more than a million reasons not to like bush.

Again best of luck to you. Maybe your dad will grow out of this someday. You don't have to agree with him to love him. It seems you have to agree with him for him to love you though.
 
Good Luck. Keep your principles.

Am helping put my own niece through college now, so can't help at the moment.  But I'll spread the word about your website and wish you good luck.
 
Love your spirit and moxie!  Stick to what you believe and the rest will follow.
 
Best wishes,

We're going to need to all pull together to clean up the mess they're making of our poor democracy.  It's great to know that you will be part of making this a better world
