    This is a good idea. Politics skews way too far to the older side, when it is the younger who will be more affected. 16 year olds can drive and have a job, and while they have maturing to do, they are absolutely capable of the level of thought required to vote. Ashcroft’s complaint about 14 year olds wanting to vote is quite valid- but hey, maybe he’s right and they should just aim for 14 right out the gate! Lol… I doubt this will go anywhere, but I hope I am surprised.

      With issues like global warming, they’re ultimately the ones stuck footing the bill while their grandparent’s generation pours gasoline on the fire.
