Well I've come to the point that I cannot choose my political leader in my country. I am a 12-year-old USA male who is requesting that I attain the right to become a US citizen. I am loyal to my country and I am currently angry with it.
Why should I say the Pledge of Alleigance when I can't even have a say in who controls its ownership? I can understand that many, perhaps even millions, of children in the USA should be prohibited to vote for their intellectual immaturity, but if I can write a resume, type with proper grammar instead of Internet language, and create fully functional PHP, MySQL, HTML, JavaScript, and C++ scripts better than most professionals, and therefore I can do something for my country, why can't I vote for my president?
