CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of National High School Seniors Voter Registration Day.
Whereas in order for the government of the United States to remain of the people, by the people, and for the people, individuals must take advantage of their right to vote;
Whereas the right to vote is one of the most important
rights of a citizen, and every effort should be made to promote voter
registration at school so that students may begin
participating in the foundation of the Nation’s representative democracy;
Whereas the Legislature of Louisiana voted in 2002 to recognize annually the first Tuesday in May as National High School Seniors Voter Registration Day; and
Whereas the purpose of National High School Seniors Voter Registration Day is to allow students to register to vote at school to encourage their participation in making democracy work: Now, therefore, be it
That Congress supports the goals and ideals of National High School Seniors Voter Registration Day, and encourages all eligible students to register to vote.
Passed the House of Representatives December 5, 2006.
