This is a program in Charlotte, NC that has been educating students about citizenship. 'Murica.
Here is the part of the website where it talks about 16-17 year olds pre-registering to vote:http://generationnation.org/index.php/CLC/entry/i-can-register-to-vote
In case you didn't know, the legislation that allowed 16-17 year olds to pre-register came about in 2010. It's not very old. But for some unknown reason, this very young freedom had to die.
The new way to encourage citizenship in NC is to allow people to carry guns in bars and at playgrounds and parks and in their cars when they visit schools and college campuses. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57595186/n.c-lawmakers-pass-sweeping-changes-to-gun-laws/
Die, legislation that caused 100,000 young people to pre-register to vote in the short time it existed, die!
