AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS; STATE GOVERNORS & LEGISLATURES
Stand Against Voter Disenfranchisement: Keep Voting Age Fair!
1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
I am writing to express my strong opposition to any efforts to increase the voting age to 21 or older. Recent proposals by some Republicans to raise the voting age are deeply concerning and would unjustly infringe upon the civic duties of legal adults.
It is important to remember that many of our nation's founding fathers, including James Monroe at 18, Aaron Burr at 20, Alexander Hamilton at 21, James Madison at 25, and more, were all young adults when they played pivotal roles in shaping our country. Denying young adults their right to participate in our democracy would contradict the very principles upon which our nation was founded. Would you have prevented these American legends knowing they were capable of greatness?
The notion that if someone is "old enough to fight, they are old enough to vote" holds true today. Young adults contribute to society in meaningful ways and deserve to have a say in the decisions that impact their lives and their futures. If 18-year-olds are fighting and dying for you, you must listen to their voices!
Furthermore, restricting voting rights disproportionately affects already disadvantaged minority voters. We should be working to include and strengthen our populace, including BIPOC Americans, reformed citizens seeking reintegration into society, and our extremely motivated youth. We must work to strengthen voting access for all American citizens, not limit it.
In the words of our American colonials who fought against their British rulers, "Taxation without representation is tyranny." Denying young adult Americans their right to vote would undermine the core principles of our democracy that we have held since day one.
I urge you to oppose any measures that seek to raise the voting age and instead support efforts to protect and expand voting rights for all eligible citizens.
Thank you for considering my perspective on this critical issue.

HAPPY B-DAY, "TRICKY DICK" -- WHO SENT 21,000+ U.S. SOLDIERS TO THEIR DEATHS IN HIS FIRST TERM.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on an original 1972 President Richard Nixon "Peace with Honor" parody poster.
"I pledge to you that we shall have an honorable end to the war in Vietnam."
-- RICHARD M. "Tricky Dick" NIXON (January 9, 1913 -- April 22, 1994)
NIXON'S DEATH TOLL: "Nixon’s decision to time military withdrawal from Vietnam to his reelection campaign cost thousands of lives. More than 20,000 American soldiers died during Nixon’s first term. The Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian death toll was many times higher. This is by far Nixon’s worst abuse of presidential power."
NIXON/VIETNAM OVERVIEW: "In the 1968 election, Republican Richard Nixon claimed to have a plan to end the war in Vietnam, but, in fact, it took him five years to disengage the United States from Vietnam. Indeed, Richard Nixon presided over as many years of war in Indochina as did Johnson. About a third of the Americans who died in combat were killed during the Nixon presidency. More than 21,200 Americans died in Vietnam and elsewhere in Southeast Asia in Nixon's first term alone.

Trump Pledges Opposition to Federal Reserve's Digital Currency in Presidential Bid
In a bold move during his 2024 presidential campaign, former U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) by the Federal Reserve. Speaking in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on January 17th, Trump emphasized his commitment to safeguarding Americans' freedom, categorically stating he would "never allow" the introduction of a CBDC. His stance resonates with other Republican leaders, such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, highlighting broader concerns within the party about potential government overreach in personal finance.
Trump's concerns center around the notion that a government-controlled digital currency poses a threat to freedom and privacy. He contends that such a currency could grant excessive power to the government over individuals' financial matters, potentially enabling unauthorized interventions.

WHO REMEMBERS WHEN NAZI GERMANY BOMBED FOR PEACE? -- NEITHER DID RICHARD NIXON.
NOTE: Once again, happy posthumous 111th birthday, "Tricky Dick," who sent 21,000+ American soldiers to their deaths in his first term alone. What a wonderful President.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on an anti-Vietnam War poster titled "Nixon's Peace," c. 1972, artwork by Cuban artist Lazaro Abreu for OSPAAAL (The Organziation of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa, and Latin America).
POSTER OVERVIEW: Depiction of President Nixon waving a small Swastika/Nazi flag while riding a B-52 bomber above the wartorn country of Vietnam and a visible Cambodia. This graphic design piece was made near the end of the Vietnam War era, and it tells the audience that Nixon's peace is obtained by war.
NIXON/VIETNAM DEBACLE: "In the 1968 election, Republican Richard Nixon claimed to have a plan to end the war in Vietnam, but, in fact, it took him five years to disengage the United States from Vietnam.
Nixon provided the South Vietnamese army with new training and improved weapons and tried to frighten the North Vietnamese to the peace table by demonstrating his willingness to bomb urban areas and mine harbors. He also hoped to orchestrate Soviet and Chinese pressure on North Vietnam.
The most controversial aspect of his strategy was an effort to cut the Ho Chi Minh supply trail by secretly bombing North Vietnamese sanctuaries in Cambodia and invading that country and Laos. The U.S. and South Vietnamese incursion into Cambodia in April 1970 helped destabilize the country, provoking a bloody civil war and bringing to power the murderous Khmer Rouge."
