I WAS
UN-ENFRANCHISED.
WERE YOU?
OVER 72
MILLION AMERICANS
ARE NOT ALLOWED VOTE
THIS YEAR
Though these Americans have committed no crime and are among America's
best informed citizens, they are not allowed to vote. A
great many of these pay TAXES WITH NO REPRESENTATION. Because
they have no vote, they are often deprived of their rights. Some
may be sentenced to death and executed before they are allowed to
vote. Millions may be sent to die for America in foreign wars
before their first vote. ALMOST 400 AMERICANS HAVE DIED IN IRAQ
ALONE BEFORE THEIR FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE in any Presidential
election. Why are these more than 72 million Americans not
allowed to vote? Because of ageism. The voting age is too
high. So, when you vote, think of these Americans who
are taxed and sent to die for you without representation. Please
work to give them the rights they have worked to help you enjoy.
