If you have been thinking a lot about who the next president is going to be, but are not going to be able to vote in the upcoming election, you might be really frustrated. You have an opinion that is valuable, and your voice should be heard just like anyone else’s!
Well now there’s a place for you to share your thoughts on the upcoming election with friends, family, and teens under 18 from across the country. My Two Cents for Change is a great website that gives teens the opportunity to share their thoughts on the issues that are relevant to the upcoming presidential election. You can even have your comments automatically send to the Presidential candidates themselves!
So what do you think about the war in Iraq? What do you think about Universal Healthcare? What do you think about what’s happening in Darfur? How would you like the next president to address poverty in this country? Get your thoughts out, and get yourself educated on the facts.
If you are going to be 18 for the upcoming election, make sure you register to vote here, here or here. Voting is your way of showing the leaders of this country that you care, and that you matter.
