SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 26
(By Senators Plymale and Unger)
Recognizing the achievements of the students working on theWest
Virginia Raise Your Voice Forums.
Whereas, The West Virginia Raise Your Voice Forums, sponsored
by West Virginia Campus Compact and West Virginia Center for Civic
Life
, have been established for young men and women of West
Virginia's institutions of higher education to engage their
communities in discussion on the issue of how to create a better
future for young people; and
Whereas, The student leaders, demonstrating advanced levels of
civic responsibility and leadership,
report the ideas and concerns
expressed at the forums back to the state, as a whole, informing
policymakers of what citizens are saying; and
Whereas, The ability to voice opinions on public matters is an
inherent right granted to all citizens under the United States
Constitution and the utilization of this practice upholds the
strength of our democracy; and
Whereas, We should remember the words of President Woodrow
Wilson who said, "The whole purpose of democracy is that we may
hold counsel with one another, as not to depend upon the
understanding of one man, but to depend upon the counsel of all.
For only as men are brought into counsel, and state their own needs and interests, can the general interests of a great people be
compounded into a policy that will be suitable to all.";
therefore,
be it
Resolved by the Senate
:
That the Senate hereby recognizes the achievements of the
students working on the West Virginia Raise Your Voice Forums; and,
be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
a copy of this resolution to the appropriate representatives of the
West Virginia Raise Your Voice Forum
