I think you should vote for Tyler. Why? No reason. I remember having clubs when I was young...lots of fun. Good luck with yours.

YES!  I know 14-year-olds who are much more politically informed that most adults.  Kids who don't care about politics would tend not to vote, just like adults who don't care.  And those who do are just as capable of making decisions as many adults.\n\nA while ago, I came across someone on Answers who proudly informed us that she'd voted for Bush in 2004 and would be voting for him again in 2008.  She was genuinely surprised to learn he was already on his 2nd term and couldn't run again.  Clearly there are plenty of uninformed voters out there already.\n\nThe "adult" voter population elected Bush.  Twice.  At a few weeks shy of 14 years old, it was already obvious to me that Bush was not going to make a good president.  Six years later, he ended up with approval ratings that rivaled those of Nixon, right before he resigned.\n\nIf 16-year-olds are old enough to drive, they should certainly be old enough to vote.  Cars are a fair bit more dangerous than ballots.\n\nThe younger kids are allowed to do something that most people don't inherently find exciting, the more likely they'll be excited to be old enough to do it.  If kids can start voting younger, they're more likely to start voting, ultimately resulting in increased voter turn out and civic participation.\n\nIf the voting age were lowered to 16, what's the worst that could happen?  We elect a lying idiot with an affinity for starting wars he can't win, who thinks he can finance that war with tax cuts for the rich, and has made every effort to set civil rights back 100 years?  Oh wait, we already did that.

No I don't think 18 is too young to vote. If it's old enough to join the military and fight for this country then it's old enough to have a vote and "decide" who gets elected in this country.

You're going to do it?  Good luck!  The last 12 President's haven't been able to do it; maybe it's time for a new type of President.  Someone who's not a career politician.

You need to be a natural-born citizen who is at least 35 years old. Constitutionally, that is all that is required. Realistically, you need an established political presence, money and the ability to raise more money, and lots of connections in one of the two major political parties in order to be considered a viable candidate for the presidency.

Currently you must be born in the United States or be a child of US citizens if you are born elsewhere.  You must be 35 to run for president.

If it's today or tomorrow - persuade them to VOTE!\n\nYoung people are very apathetic about voting, but they can make a difference!\n\n(And teacher's love this type of topic!)\n\nBest of luck!

To be honest, I'm not sure most adults should be allowed to vote considering the complete lack of reason with which they approach the notion... but as long as we're going to allow people over the age of eighteen to vote without having to qualify just what good reason they have for doing things like voting on social policies that are disastrously stupid or candidates who are dangerously unqualified, I don't see any reason why teens shouldn't get to vote.\n\nAfter all, the informal teen votes we take now seem to reflect at least as much maturity and consideration as the adult vote does. I believe with the exception of the Bush Presidency, the Nickelodeon Kid's Vote has accurately called the results of every presidential election since it began (though I must admit, I do find it telling that while they have consistently proven they are up to snuff with the adult population when considering a candidate for the presidency, even kids thought re-electing George W. Bush was a bad idea).

Something like this perhaps...\nhttp://www.vote-smart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=CNIP9107

We need a President that won't bullsh*t, mislead, or disregard the constitutional rights of the people.  Is doesn't matter what sex or race or religion they happen to be.  I can't think of any good candidates to suggest - male or female but I added a link that might help settle the debate between your Uncles. It is the website of THE CENTER FOR AMERICAN WOMEN AND POLITICS.

Vote it's the best way to make your voice heard! Also don't vote for asssholes like George Bush, Jr.!
