Why not just eliminate the age and give kids ice cream for their vote?

Note -- that clause takes away my vote as well. I've volunteered for about a year with Mother Teresa's and with Caritas, but that's not what I mean -- I mean something focused on the USA and not a charity
Even a paraplegic can do something -- people have brains or force or both

Think about it....do you really want some government entity deciding on what consitutes “service” to our country...?
If you are a citizen and pay taxes...are at least 18 years old...old enough to serve in the military you can vote...

R :”

And Federal law is 18 for federal office elections.
But don't expect Obama to enforce that.

It sould stay at 18
The idea of being forced to “serve” your master government for a vote is horrible.
