The Kid That Helped Elect Barack Obama President!! This story is a true story of an 11 year boy that worked every hour he had available after school and on the weekends with his father on the campaign trail to ask folks to vote for then candidate Barack Obama for President of the United States. The story depicts a realization by this amazing kid that it was possible that kids could play a role to elect America's first African American man to be President of United States. With this thought as a possibility, this Christian Dowdell set out to make his dream a reality. Christian, worked hard and was relentless in knocking on doors and handing out vote for the Obama/Biden Team flyers to ask citizens to lend their support to elect Mr. Obama. His energy and zeal for Mr. Obama to be President surpassed many adults and he didn't care how late it was - often times begging his dad to let him continue beyond the campaign hours and he paid no attention to the cold temperatures in the evenings or how dark or challenging it was. He had one mission in mind, and that was to help get Mr.Obama elected President of the United States and that, he surely helped do! This is an amazing story of Christian Lloyd Albert Dowdell, an 11-year-old kid with the heart of a champion and a motto, "never give up and yes I can - make a difference as a kid."
