To lower the age of voting to 16.

Created by J.P. on August 07, 2014

The voting age should be lowered to the age of 16.
The government effects the lives of a 16 year old, just like it effects an adult. Sixteen year olds can be charged as an adult, they can work, and pay taxes! Shouldn't 16 year olds be able to have a say in what the government does with their lives and money. Sixteen year olds have no representation in the government, they have no one that is willing to listen. No taxation with out representation, what happened to that phrase? This is an age discrimination issue too! Sixteen year olds have no representation, they are being denied their right to vote! Women were denied the right to vote and that changed, together we can give sixteen year olds the ability to vote! Their lives are just as affected by the government as the lives of adults!
