Teens react to Palin's speech
A large portion of the country sat on the edge of their seats in front of their televisions last night to witness the historical speech Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin delivered at the convention.
Do Something reached out to our Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) to get an inside on the reaction from teens. Here's what they said:

Check out the Lyrics to John Legend's "If You're Out There!"
If you hear this message, wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, calling every man
We're the generation
We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late
We've been looking for a song to sing
Searched for a melody
Searched for someone to lead
We've been looking for the world to change
If you feel the same
Then go on and say
If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Palin jabs at Obama
In her speech last night at the Republican National Convention, Sarah Palin, 44, claimed her historic place on the Republican ticket and mocked Barack Obama's experience and promise of change.
"In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers," she said in a barbed reference to Obama's campaign theme. "And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change."

The press is out. The Do Something/Glassbooth Generation Action party was the hottest party during the DNC. We had the best-dressed crowd (no Ann Taylor here), hippest venue at the new Jet Hotel, and the most good-looking VIP peeps in all of Denver. The best part? The live acoustic set by Moby and crew.
Former Law & Order Star Stirs Up RNC
Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman spoke at the RNC last night along with President and Laura Bush, but the most rousing speech of the evening came from former Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson.
Thompson is a former Tennessee senator, who competed with McCain for the Republican party’s nomination, but he is known by most voters for his roll on NBC’s "Law & Order."
McCain is opposed!
"Ahhh, I think I support the president's policy," McCain said.
The question that lead to this uncomfortable answer from McCain? Whether or not he supported grants for sex education in the United States and whether such programs should include directions for using contraceptives. For the record, President Bush supports policy of promoting only abstinence.
When reporters asked McCain in the past whether the government should provide contraceptives or counseling on contraceptives, he replied, "You've stumped me."

The DNC ended with a bang last week. After a week of festivities, including concerts by Kanye West, the Black Eyed Peas, N.E.R.D, and Fall Out Boy, Senator Obama spoke to an audience of 84,000 at Denver’s Mile High Stadium. The week was highlighted in speeches by President Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary Clinton, and Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden, all in the efforts to unite the Democratic party, resulting in Obama’s approval ratings rising in the polls.
