No one you voted for served. And you probably didn't either.


Bill Clinton didn't either.

Little bit of trivia — my brother, born in the 1957-1959 window, did not have to register when selective service was reinstated in 1980.

And the Biden family will all have asthma. :(
quote:

"As a result of a physical exam on April 5, 1968, Joe Biden was classified 1-Y and disqualified from service because of asthma as a teenager," said David Wade, a campaign spokesman.

In "Promises to Keep," a memoir that was published last year and became an instant bestseller after he was tapped as Obama's running mate, Biden never mentions his asthma, recounting an active childhood, work as a lifeguard and football exploits in high school.

The same capability should be used to automatically activate voter registration for the same people to vote when they reach voting age.

The last thing many politicians want is for everyone to exercise their right to vote.

I’m missing something. Can you highlight for me where the wording is designed to foment angst? Can you point to anything misleading or inaccurate?

There are incountable instances of the media lying and/or being deceptive but this isn’t it.

Being registered doesn’t mean they will.

Not being registered means someone else could register in their name and vote for them.

Registration at 18 for males was always a thing…..


And since the 19th Amendment passed, females should be included.
