DUer Ava wins BuzzFlash "Wings of Justice" award ......
Edited on Wed Jun-28-06 06:53 AM by hwmnbn
Posted today on their website are their comments about our own Ava Lowery.

http://www.wingsofjustice.com/06/06/woj06026.html

Ava Lowery is only 15 years old, but wiser than many politicians and reporters four times her age.

The young Alabaman started a website called "Peace Takes Courage," and populated it with arresting Internet flash presentations and news. Many Internet activists have seen Ava's emotionally wrenching presentation of "Jesus Loves Me" that so movingly depicts the horror inflicted upon children by Bush's Iraq War.

Although many Democratic leaders back down when confronted with hostile questions from the press, Ava has held her own and shown that a backbone comes with character, not age.

As one BuzzFlash reader noted of her appearance on CNN: "Ava was beautiful and gracious and stuck to her talking points. Her poise was remarkable. Folks, this is our future. The right would have us believe that tomorrow holds nothing but darkness for us. But it's just not true. We can move America forward, no matter how small we may feel in the big scheme of things. Ava is a testament to the human spirit, an example of hope for all of us.".......



It is a lovely tribute and I believe very appropriate. They also have the audio of the tribute.



Ava continues her work, and I know she appreciates our support.

3. Yep, I've listened to her radio interviews......
but watching her on CNN just put me over the top for this young lady. She has remarkable composure and is sweet as they come. I'm active on her forum and since last August I've marvelled at how normal and funny and genuine she is.

What I saw on TV is the real deal. She doesn't have "talking points" she has heart!!
