The voting age was changed, if I have it correct, I was a kid at the time and have done no research, as a politically correct move to alleviate the insult being perpetrated on our young men, drafting them throwing them into the hellhole of a war in the southeast Asian jungle at the age of eighteen.

Talk about having to make reparations. When is that going to happen? And I’m a gulf war vet

The voting age must be put back to 21. No one living under any substantial federally subsidized income should be allowed to vote for reasons of conflict of interest at least. Period

Well I'm old enough to remember when the voting age was lowered to eighteen. It was the leftist Democrats that lobbied and cried and yelled to get the age lowered so as to allow college age "skulls full of mush" (to quote Rush Limbaugh) to vote and throw elections to the leftwing Democrats.

And of course they justified this by using the military service argument knowing full well that it would be the college students that would determine the outcome of close elections in many places. Some suggested only allowing those in the military who were under 21 to vote but that would be "discrimination." The entire lowering the voting age limit movement was fraudulent from the beginning.

I have eighteen year old son about to graduate high school this June. There is no way he is ready to vote! And that includes his friends too! Their chief concerns are online gaming, cars, girls (thank God) and sports. Young people should be concerned about training, education, working and establishing themselves in the working world and community before indulging in political matters. They need time to acquire a mature adult outlook and understanding of the world. Twenty-one should be the minimum age to participate in the political process.

When my nation called, I served in the military. (please, do NOT thank me for my service) When called upon I served on juries both grand and pettit. Since the age of 16 I've paid, and continue to pay, income taxes.

But since a substantial part of my income is now SS retirement benefits, part of which are taxed, and am enrolled in MediCare, I should now be freed of my duty to vote.

THANK YOU!!! Keeping abreast of who or what to vote for or against has gotten to be a real pain in the ass.

Again, thank you.
