Submitted on August 16th, 2008 by AnonymousTerrific! It reminds me of a group of politicians who think they are so powerful, then along comes someone with enough innocence to pull them together. Nicely done!

I watched the Uptown 6 reel
Submitted on August 12th, 2008 by AnonymousI watched the Uptown 6 reel on their web site and it seems like everything they do is really fun! I hope you guys get in if for no other reason than this should be more about having fun than spreading political ideas and bias. Denver has enough to deal with right now. How could you not love a bunch of kids playing in the sun???

Submitted on August 7th, 2008 by AnonymousToo staged. It is a great thing to teach kids at a young age about democracy, but the fact that "cuteness" can lead the way, is not a great message.
I wonder if the message is
Submitted on August 7th, 2008 by AnonymousI wonder if the message is less that cuteness can lead the way and more that disagreeing parties can work out their differences if they have a common framework to work within. I see the baby as a metaphor for that common idea which, in this case, would be democracy.
I really like this video because it's concise and clean.
