Many teenagers, like myself, are politically educated and want a say in who rules our country. If the voting age is lowered, it means that younger voices would be heard, it would promote more voting, and possibly encourage more teens to educate themselves politically to prepare. Sixteen year olds should be allowed to vote and stand for what they believe in.
Making Election Day a federal holiday in the United States could increase voter turnout by providing citizens with more time to vote without work conflicts. In the 2020 election, 13.1% of registered voters who didn’t vote cited being too busy or having scheduling conflicts as the reason. Additionally, such a holiday would celebrate democracy, turning voting into a nationwide event. This approach aligns with practices in other countries and has significant public support; a Pew Research Center survey found that nearly 80% of Democrats and nearly 70% of Republicans favor making Election Day a federal holiday.
I grow my own meds to treat my back pain so I'm not taking all the painkillers the doctor wants to prescribe, but currently I am trapped in Colorado until Pennsylvania approves the right to grow at home. I just want to go home so my mom and dad can enjoy their grandkids. unfortunately getting caught trying to help myself would turn me into a felon, I'd probably get my kids taken and I would definitely go to jail under the current laws in pa. help me get home.
I have Psoriatic Arthritis and cannabis is the only medicine that brings me any relief from the stiffness and pain without taking opioid pain killers, which I hate.
I was one of the educators that was fired because I complained about students not being sent back to their school mainstream education even though they were ready and long overdue! Three of my students committed suicide-one by pills, another hung himself at a hospital, and another died at a facility under odd circumstances! This is a travesty!
#1, I,as with others were never informed of the name change & were quite shocked driving into town & said, what on earth, when did they change the name. So all of the community was NOT informed. I didn't approve of everything being changed to Biden after discovering it then. And I prefer the original names to be returned. Biden didn't put us on the map, we were already on it. I grew up here, love it here. Please return everything back to the former names. Thank you
As a Democrat and life long supporter of liberal causes and political officials, I'm absolutely appalled by the President's decision to commute the sentence of former Judge Michael Conahan. As someone who worked in those juvenile detention facilities, it's sad to say their legacies continued long after the original incident, and now you have President who chooses to commute the sentence of an individual who was supposed to uphold the law and protect children at all costs yet failed to do so for personal financial gain. I'm ashamed to be a Democrat today. Therefore, I'm pledging my name to this petition to have the Biden name removed.
When I drive past the Biden expressway now,all I will think about is how he pardoned a judge who tore apart so many families here in the area. Many of those families are still suffering. Many of those kids are either no longer with us because of suicide. Many of those kids are still now suffering as adults and have long term trauma. It was disrespectful, disgraceful and made all of these victims feel as though none of it mattered.
