Kids 17 and under should NOT be allowed to support candidates with money.....they are not self-sufficient, and it's a perfect way for family members to funnel money to candidates. Besides, they cannot even sign most contracts, etc....unless they are emancipated.....then maybe....but as long as ma and pa are paying the bills....NO WAY!

Why should they not have the right to send any money (say, allowance money, etc).

What's wrong with family members funnelling money to candidates? If the parents don't object, and the money isn't being used to harm anyone, why shouldn't a kid be allowed to spend his own money how he wants?

Maybe a 16 or 17 year old made money mowing lawns or baby-sitting and want to support with $10 a candidate of their choice. This is a great way to introduce these young people to politics. If not the direct money contribution, can they donate envelopes and buttons?

Anyway, if they allow non-citizens to donate, why shouldn't they allow teens who ARE citizens that want to be part of the process?
