Whenever a young person in our family, or a friend of the family, turns 18 I give them a voter registration form.
I tell them I don't care who they vote for, just so they study the issues and vote. And I check up on them to get their input on various candidates and issues.
I also tell them to NOT put their phone number on the form. I did a lot of research on that matter and found out that's how you get calls from people urging you to vote for so and so. The politicians are allowed to use those numbers and give them to whoever they want to.
