Political Advocacy

Serving the highest echelons of office in this country should not have lower standards than enlisting in the military. I had an FBI interview just to be able to hide radar packages on f18s and promise not to share codes that were punched to jets for communicating and identification between aircraft. Matt Gaetz deserves to be held to a higher standard and held accountable for any actions he's committed before holding position as Attorney General.

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.

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.
