By Juan Ayala
Today Senator Barack Obama has announced that he has chosen fellow Senator Joe Biden of Delaware to be our nominee for Vice President of the United States.
We are excited to hear this announcement and look forward to a convention that will help our party unite behind this winning ticket. Senator Biden first joined the Senate as a Young Democrat at the age of 30. He has served his state and country with distinction and he will be a key asset as Senator Obama brings his agenda of change to Washington.

whYDA: Why I'm Voting Democratic

A New Project from the Young Democrats of America
With record-breaking turnout across the map, young people have made this the year of the Young Voter Revolution. What's now clear is that young people are a sizable and active voting bloc, and, even more, they are voting overwhelmingly for Democrats. Young Democrats of America (YDA) is launching the whYDA project to give voice to this movement. Young people are making themselves heard at the polls, and now they have a place to do so online, as well. We're asking a simple question: Why are you voting for Democrats? Users submit videos and written testimonials to the site to be shared with the world. It's an easy process with potentially dramatic effects: We are growing the Young Voter Revolution.
Our Goals
* To bring together dedicated young people across the country.
* To attract voters and members to engage in the political process.
* To get young people learning about the Democratic agenda from each other.
* To spread the Democratic values, agenda, and vision person
to-person.
* To educate young voters about the scope of problems that affect the country.
* To empower organizers with materials and information to motivate people in their communities.
Now it's your turn. Get involved. Submit a video or tell your story. whYDA is yours. Visit
