very glad to hear this topic has been addressed! nicely written and i hope everyone supports this!

Very persuasive and interesting. I will be sure to participate "virally" in the Red Tape campaign!

I never knew about this law. It's nice to learn about what needs to be done ahead of time! This is a very informative article.

Good job Ryan! I was unaware of this new state law. Now I'll know for the future! Well done.

I, too have never heard of this law, but your article was very persuasive and interesting. Good luck!
-Ellis F

This is a great article! I will definitely participate this virally and spread the word around.

This article was very well written and very informative! i wouldn't have ever known that law was in existence(Until it was time for me to vote for the first time) if i didn't read this article! Well done Ryan!

I never knew about this law, so I'm glad I've learned about it from this article. Popular sovereignty is a really important core democratic value in our society so it's good to know that more people will be well-informed about how they can voice their opinion in society. Well done!

Good to know especially for new voters this year. Thanks for the info!

It's very important for high school students, and more people in general, to become more aware of how the goverment works and who is leading the country. It's great that Political Leadership plans to educate high school seniors and first time voters about this Absentee Red Tape!
-Anne Gu

This is really good information to know, especially for new and young voters, and I hope that it gets out everywhere and a lot of people find out about this!

I have seen poster around west Bloomfield about this! Great information for first time voters!

Absolutely magnificent! Now citizens have the opportunity to participate in something they deserve to participate in and the political leadership program at WBHS is to thank!!! GO WB, that's the ticket!!!!

Excellent Article. This campaign through WBHS is very important and will no doubt have repercussions on how and if.. Americans abroad vote and if young people will vote as well.

this is a very important and educational article especially with the fact that this is an election year and young people need to be aware of new voting laws

Wow! That is quite interesting. I really appreciate when the school / classes take steps to inform us about things outside of the classroom. I am frustrated, however, because my eighteenth birthday is two weeks after the next presidential election, so I will just barely miss the cut-off!

Thanks for the information. It's very good to know. This was very well written.

It's nice to see high schoolers taking such initiative.

Very interesting, wasn't exactly sure what the political leadership class even did (let alone the specific account of this student).

Great article! It is good information to be informed about!

very interesting. social media is the way to go with bringing this out to the public eye

Very interesting! I have seen the posters about this around WBHS and I am glad that this provides more information about them!

cool article! very helpful i had a friend who was going to vote absentee and i showed this to him and he said it helped him prepare for it. thanks for the info :)

Great article and very informative! It's really important for everyone our age to be aware of this! Thanks for sharing!

This sounds wonderful! I'm sure the leadership class will get far in life.

Great job guys! Direct and well written!

This is the kinda thing that all the schools in the us should be teaching. ms.law is a smart lady

Very well written article Ryan! I hope people get more educated on absentee voting through this.

Wicked cool. Awesome job on the writing... Honestly, more schools should have this. When schools take the time to really inform students, it shows something good.

Great article! Sounds like political leadership is making some great changes in WB.

good info

Good job!!! Amazing essay!

You rule PLC!

I'm actually glad that I read this. This kind of info will help me to be informed when I'm of voting age--not only with political/social issues but also with protocols. Great article, thanks for sharing!

Interesting article. Anything getting high school kids involved politically is great.

Good job Ryan, as this article is amazing and very informative. Before reading this, i never knew about the law and would like to say thank you. The political leadership class is doing a great job in getting students involved and spreading the word to family and friends.

Simply outstanding. It's very motivating seeing students close to our age take such initiatives.
-Nadya

This is awesome! I have always felt that when it comes time for me to vote, I won't be ready because I am uninformed. This is an important issue to address, and I'm glad WB students are beginning to do just that! Great job writing this article, Ryan.
- MJ Brown

Amazing job Ryan! Hopefully this will get everyone more aware of the new laws and get more voter participation!

Well written essay Ryan! This informed me along with many other students. Great job :)

Amazing. Students need to read this. Everyone has a voice, use it!

Great job Ryan! This article will definitely benefit any first time voters voting absentee. By the way, I really like the slogan, very catchy!
-Jen Chang

A reply from the Secretary of State!? Thats great Ryan! This was well written and will benefit a wide range of people. #BeaGgetUrAbsentee....very clever.

Great article Ryan! This is great that new voters will be informed about such an important issue!

Great article! It clearly addressed an issue that I wasn't previously aware of. Hopefully, this will motivate new voters to let their voices be heard.
-Hamna Nazir

Great info! I'll have to put it to use when I turn 18 a few days before the election :) These are some great ideas to raise awareness. Keep up the good work!

This is interesting and very cool information, I'm excited to be a part in elections and to be informed information about the elections before I even vote :)

I definitely agree with the Political Leadership class, everyone should have an equal opportunity and voice in the election process. Can't wait to be in this class next year!

It's always nice to see an effort to improve the currently dismal amount of voter registration and participation. Effective article.

This is a great article! I have been seeing a lot of posters about this around school and now I know what they're about, really cool you're taking action!
-Abbie Reed

Great job spreading the word! I'm glad that we are able to inform so many people about this issue. Keep up the great work! :)

Great article Ryan! It was very well written and it brought to my attention things that I was not currently aware of. This was very helpful and I'll be sure to consider this info when I'm eligible to vote

^ That past one was written by Noah Swimmer from Allison's account, she was still signed in and I did not realize that it was her account, not mine.

Nice logo!

Great article! I'll do my best to spread the word to new voters and show them this article!

This a very informative article, thank you!

Ryan this article was very informative, no surprise that your going to The University of Michigan. I love the idea of the campaign keep up the work and Go Blue

Absolument fabuleux! Good job on making a difference! Very nice writing as well, and good for you for spreading the word to WBHS students who will become eligible to vote within the year.

A very informative article. Using the internet to spread awareness is a great way to reach out to other schools in Michigan.
