The Constitution: The twenty sixth Amendment

Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Kids were being signed up against their will to go to war and die and they were not "old enough or responsible enough" to vote.  I think that is slavery.   I do not know how many young people vote because the evil empire is trying to marginalize that age group the same way they marginalize the the minority vote. 

This is my favorite amendment.  The young generations change the world.  Check out Syria, Egypt and Europe for examples.  Our young people protested a war.  We must provide them with the tools like a decent education.  Follow that with the three "L's"; Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and you have a recipe for credible, lasting change.
