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.
Ryan supported: Make Election Day a Federal Holiday in the U.S.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.
Lillis supported: Lower the National voting age to 16 in the United StatesHistoric buildings give a community character and a visible connection to past generations. Rather than looking back and realizing the building could have been saved, why not figure out a way to do that now.
Claire supported: Save Historic Eastern High School while Supporting a Mental Health FacilityWhen does progress stop? If we tear everything down in the name of progress doesn’t this stop history? Just how much is UofM Sparrow going to take from the old BTS/Eastern complex? Does this mean the field house, ball diamonds, and football field too? What is going to happen to St. Lawrence hospital, also owned by Sparrow? Yes, I am an alumni from Eastern and have many memories from a very young age. Many of my relatives were graduates from this building and my own father worked in this build long for many years. If other structures from this great State of Michigan can be saved and preserved whey can’t Eastern? Seems to me, the smart choice for a mental hospital would be to use the parking structure next to the main hospital and build a much larger parking lot behind the main hospital where Eastern’s previous football field was before Sparrow forced that to close on the 60’s.
Steven supported: Save Historic Eastern High School while Supporting a Mental Health FacilityI live in this neighborhood and walk by old Eastern. It is part of the character of the neighborhood. In no way does wanting to save it indicate that someone is unconcerned with mental health, and that's a fallacious assertion that keeps going around. The only way it would be valid, is if that were the ONLY possible place to put a mental health facility.
Heather supported: Save Historic Eastern High School while Supporting a Mental Health FacilityI care about this issue because I grew up in Lansing Michigan and my older brothers all went to Eastern High school and so did my son and me. I have never felt good in a school like I did in Eastern High school.
Melissa Bermudez supported: Save Historic Eastern High School while Supporting a Mental Health FacilityThe building is more than brick and motar it is our history of our families, parents, grandparents. It is part of us. Please save us.
Sally supported: Save Historic Eastern High School while Supporting a Mental Health FacilityAs an Eastside neighbor I am hoping that UM Sparrow and the City of Lansing can work together to preserve the beautiful western section of the old Eastern high school, while taking down the rest of the building for a state of the art mental health facility. We can and should have both.
Thank you for considering the benefits of preserving this history.
Abby supported: Save Historic Eastern High School while Supporting a Mental Health FacilityI graduated here in 2015 if it was for eastern and the teachers I never would’ve graduated. Please don’t tear down this beautiful building.
