Thomas Ponce with his advocacy website on screen. |
About a year ago, he started LOBBY FOR ANIMALS, with the assistance of animal rights attorney, Jessica Astrof. The website is designed to be educational, with materials regarding the various issues involved in protecting animals. There are even videos on his site about how laws are made and how to track bills through their legislative bodies.
Seriously, Thomas' coverage about the lobbying process at different levels of government is quite impressive and would be instructive for both adults and children. The viewer has the sense that this is a bright and intelligent young man, who could have greater political involvement as he gets older. As a matter of fact, Thomas is a gifted student at South Seminole Middle School. He readily shares his belief "in speaking out against cruelty, to all living beings, as well as speaking out on the damage that is being done to our environment." Proud mom Kim Ponce says, "I've learned so much from him. He's my son. I'll support anything he wants to do."
Thomas' latest educational endeavor is taking an online course in psychology. He also has been utilizing his own GOFUNDME PAGE page to raise funds for such things as a computer, which is essential for him to continue his education. He is also saving to join the Page Program with the House of Representatives. With all of his experience, he should be a welcome addition to the halls of Congress, in whatever capacity he wishes to serve. He's a truly outstanding young teen and an asset everywhere he goes!
