                         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
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
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.

            Attest:

                                                 KAREN L. HAAS,

                                                                 Clerk.
