                               RESOLUTION


 
Supporting the goals and ideals of ``National High School Seniors Voter 
                          Registration Day''.

Whereas in order for the Federal Government 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 
        representative democracy of the United States;
Whereas the legislature of Louisiana voted in 2002 to annually recognize the 
        first Tuesday in May as Louisiana 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, That the Senate--
            (1) recognizes the first Tuesday in May as ``National High 
        School Seniors Voter Registration Day''; and
            (2) encourages school districts to--
                    (A) register high school seniors of voting age on 
                the first Tuesday in May; and
                    (B) encourage students to make a lifelong 
                commitment to civic participation in all areas of 
                society by educating them on the importance of voting.
