BTW, Ava is 15. She's not even old enough to vote. Something very special about this generation, here.

[fooj]

1. You bet.

I'm so proud of her I could just BUST!

peace.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

2. Absolutely. I Think She's A Future Senator That's Gonna Kick Ass.

Either that, or the next Helen Thomas. I'm proud of her and hope she inspires everyone in her generation to speak out the same.

[patdem]

3. Damn..I had no idea she was 15...just thought she was another FAMOUS

DU'er...WOW..what a future she has! If not Hillary..the first Woman President of the USA?

[proud patriot]

4. She rocks

:headbang:

[Oversea Visitor]

5. She good

Put talent to good use.

[tlsmith1963]

6. Good For You, Ava!

You give me hope that the younger generation is going to save us from this awful mess that the neocons have made of the world.:thumbsup:

Tammy

[HeeBGBz]

7. Hope for the Future

Inspiration for the Now.

[JuniperLea]

8. I knew it!

I remember her first posts and her first animations... and my first chills and tears. Everyone told her then that she would go far if she kept this up! Lo and behold, yet another DU prophecy comes to light!

It's so great to see a young mind bloom like this.

[Ava]

9. thanks so much! you are too kind!

:pals:

[NewJeffCT]

18. Thank you for gracing us with your presence!

keep up the good work.

[iconoclastic cat]

23. Nice!

BTW, do know righteousbabe over at Daily Kos? She's fifteen, too. You're both fantastic writers and activists. Keep kicking ass, and don't let psycho freepers keep you down!

[flvegan]

24. No way, sister...you deserve it.

May you inspire us all.

[Pacifist Patriot]

58. Honey, your "WWJD" rocks this momma to the core!

Aw geez, and now I'm watching the Impeach the Decider one. I have chills! Your use of music and imagery is simply astonishing. Bless you!

[flvegan]

72. How did the radio show go?

I had to work. Streaming audio wasn't working for me...

[Beaverhausen]

10. Not like any 15 year old I know

Ava does indeed rock!!!

[flvegan]

28. I wish that at 15 (or 25) that I was

so active, openminded and seeking the truth.

[Beaverhausen]

69. I'm going to send the link to Ava's website to the 15 year old in my life

who is foundering around without any focus other than her boyfriend and drugs. I want to show her what someone her age is capable of.

[genieroze]

11. I was very disturbed by this, threatening a 15 year old girl like this

is really sick. I think it's criminal being she's a minor and charges should be pressed. I won't post the threats here they are way to graphic.
http://progressive.org/mag_mc042406

[flvegan]

40. I agree. I hope that those that suggested

those threats have found peace with themselves. It is sick.

[genieroze]

42. People like that are sick, twisted people who will never find peace

only hate. Those threats are criminal and if anybody made any threat to * or his ilk they would be found and be in jail.

[uppityperson]

12. Very much so.

Good going Ava. And thank you for all you do.

[rustydog]

13. Our future is looking brighter. AVA , keep it up you have supporters

[AnnieBW]

14. You Go, Girl!!

Keep up the good work, and don't let the bastards get ya down!

[upi402]

15. wow!

A+

[Jack Rabbit]

16. Let's hear it for Ava!!

!!

[Libby2]

17. Ava For President!!

I'm so proud and impressed!!

[haydukelives]

19. It's not just you

I think her work is the bomb

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Yessssssssss! She's the bomb!

[Random_Australian]

32. Go Ava! (More over AIM) You rock!

:yourock::yourock:

[holboz]

33. AVA ROCKS!

I can see her University application when she lists her hobbies:

KICKED GEORGE BUSH'S ASS and scared the hell out of Freepers when my animations received accolades from notable organizations and publications such as The Nation.

She must be overwhelmed! I bet this week has been nothing short of a dream to her.

[hwmnbn]

35. I'm sure she's getting a kick out of it .......

but from what I see, she is very level-headed and cool about it. She is an exceptional young lady.

[hwmnbn]

34. She also made BuzzFlash .......

Right hand column, fourth entry down. :applause:

[Ksec]

36. I had no idea until this post

But then I have problems similar to add.

Waytugo Ava!!

[Ilsa]

37. Oh man, I watched WWJD this morning. Awesome piece.

Great work, Ava and Congrats on your notoriety and the publicity for your site!

[mark11727]

68. Threats (sexual threats!) against a MINOR sounds CRIMINAL...

...turn these over to the AUTHORITIES!

Let's see how Mr Bigstuff explains his online bradaggio to a couple of FEDS that have DAUGHTERS.

Just sayin' :evilgrin:

[Hissyspit]

39. She needs somebody to love, though!

:7

[Change has come]

41. Ava, I had no idea you are 15

Your videos speak to my heart. You're a leader in the peace movement.

:yourock:

[young_at_heart]

43. Ava, please know that there are far more decent people who care

than those twisted, depraved idiots who threatened you. Those people are truly sick!

[Mr_Spock]

44. Holy smoke! She's done some pretty powerful stuff

I have a huge burst of hope inside me when I see that kind of dedication.

[flvegan]

45. Yes sir. You and me both.

[Swamp Rat]

46. kick

and a :hug: for Ava.

[mconvente]

47. WOW! What an amazing girl!

Yes, still a girl, but becoming a woman each and everyday. And only 15 - what an amazing true American! Hopefully she'll make it to AAR soon for an interview.

[file83]

48. See what some good old fashioned Home Schooling will do?!?

Her parents have raised her well. :thumbsup:

[Major Hogwash]

49. At her age I was still arguing with Mom about my feet on the coffee table!

This girl is amazing!
I hope her parents are proud of her.

I know I would have to go out and buy new shirts if she was my daughter because my chest would swell 2 whole sizes!

[Syrinx]

50. I didn't know Ava was a homey!

Glad to know you're an Alabamian!

I hope you're not an Auburn fan! But I'll still be your fan, even if you are. :)

Way to go girl.

[Ava]

56. nope! Bama girl all the way!

Roll Tide!

[Syrinx]

75. Wow!

You appear to be perfect in every way. :hi:

[Pachamama]

51. Ava is amazing! She gives me hope for the younger generation!

Way to go Ava! :hug:

[madokie]

52. I hope her head swells so big she thinks she can be president someday

because you know what, she can. I say to Ava, only look back so as to keep in mind where it is you have been. Something tells me we ain't seen nothing YET. Go Girl

[WilliamPitt]

65. K&R

:toast:

[madrchsod]

66. kind`a makes one humble

when a 15 year old can see so clearly and have so much passion for the truth.

[myrna minx]

67. It's amazing kids like Ava that gives me hope for the future.

Thank you Ava. :hug:

[NighthawkMS]

70. This teen is behind you!

This 16 year old is behind you, Ava. Freedom of speech is something you obviously highly value, and you need to fight against morons who will beat you down and slander your person just because of political beliefs. Don't let anyone stop you from making these animations and exposing the lies of the Iraq War. You're one example of how we, the teenagers of the US, are starting to affect the face of the parties, and the future is bright if people like you continue to emerge.

[hwmnbn]

71. Welcome to DU, NighthawkMS ......

:hi:

We are happy to have you young'uns among us. Together, we will kick some repug booty!!! :evilgrin:

[MethuenProgressive]

73. What an amazing young woman!

Thank you Ava, and bless you!
:D

[Alamom]

74. Ava, you make us proud. eom.
