Let's throw in automatic voter registration and required civics classes starting in first grade. Hopefully by the time they get to 18, they will understand why their votes are essential.

I think civics classes are easier than automatic voter registration at the federal level. The idea of an informed citizenry that understands the concepts and mechanisms of governmental operation probably scares the hell out of most politicians which makes it an excellent idea in my book.

I agree with Bill, this is a great list. Probably overwhelming to any government official to whom I send it, but still… It does all need to be done.
