Kidlink: Why Should Politicians Listen when you talk about poverty?

Why Should Politicians Listen?

Because there are parents behind you,
who can remove politicians with their votes.

Art by Diana (10), girl, Romania 2004

Because newspaper and TV, having the power to destroy politicians' careers, are interested in what you think. If many of you are against poverty, and your thoughts are well presented, media will listen, write and talk. After all, you will soon take over community, and make votes.

"If many of you .." means that you must show them that your are many.
"Your thoughts are well presented,," means that you need help from children who knows how to write and deal with media. They must write press releases and articles, and try to get these published. You may find kids' capable of doing this in Kidlink's network of kids wanting to become journalists or writers.
