And now we’ve completed #16tovote on the 16th – Saturday Edition! A slight increase in participation this time, and the faithful usual participants showed up once again, along with some new or less-usual participants, to help spread the word about lowering the voting age through all our Twitter feeds! With, of course, the #16tovote hashtag….
Another #16tovote on the 16th is complete! Lots of great #16tovote tweets about lowering the voting age, but once again, participation is way down, at 23 participants, only 2 more than in the first run in February. Hmm. Well, in any case, the event still went well! Here are the day’s tweets. Next one, of…
Hello, everyone! Tonight, it is time for another #16tovote on the 16th! This is our monthly event to speak up and spread the word about lowering the voting age! Tired of laws being made about youth without their input? Tired of teens’ tax dollars being happily accepted but not their votes? Tired of important school…
NYRA President Jeffrey Nadel often says “The worst thing you can do is forget what it is like to be young.” Very true. After all, how can you effectively defend youth rights, or do much of anything involving youth for that matter, without any kind of memory or knowledge of the lives of the people…
And now we’ve completed the 7th run of #16tovote on the 16th! Our monthly 24-hour Twitter campaign to raise awareness of lowering the voting age! This one was a little low-key, where despite having a decent total tweets and retweets of about 208, number of participants was only 30. Nonetheless, the event still went on…
We’ve now had the sixth run of #16tovote on the 16th! As usual, we all got on Twitter and tweeted why we want a lower voting age, with the #16tovote hashtag. This was the second time it’s been on a Friday. It had a lot of the usual spouting of short talking points, and it…
The fifth run of #16tovote on the 16th, our monthly Twitter campaign to raise awareness of lowering the voting age, has come and gone. Just like before, youth rights supporters on Twitter tweeted and retweeted a lot about lowering the voting age, using the #16tovote hashtag, spreading the word to all of their followers. While…
I’ve written before about Hyundai’s current ad campaign where they depict a teenager’s messy room, and point out that because we have to share the road with them, better get a safe car, namely a Sonata. Oh, what to do about it? Especially if you’re like me and are a now-not-so-happy Hyundai driver. Well, we…
The fourth run of #16tovote on the 16th has been a success! Went about the same as last month’s, with about the same number of participants, and as usual they churned out some more great reasons, points, links, and other good stuff in support of lowering the voting age. Participants consisted of some veteran #16tovote…
There’s one thing we’re frequently told and ordered throughout our lives: kids and “swear words” should not mix ever. Kids should neither hear them nor say them.
