Election Reform Resolution
By Casidy Brown, and Kimberly Torheim

Whereas, Youth are being shorted because they cannot understand the registration and voting process.
Whereas, On-line registration and voting would help this. 
Whereas, Youth do not understand the process in which people register, and vote.
Whereas, A program to educate youth would on how to register, vote, and why they should, would increase voter turnout among youth in our country.

Now, therefore be it resolved, that the current voting system needs to be changed to on-line so that youth will be able to understand it, and feel more comfortable.  There will be programs in place to educate youth on how to proceed through the election process, and why it’s so important that they do.

The Magic Skagit: Day 3

We have chosen a candidate and our planning our magical display. We covered Parliamentary Procedures and had a great presentation followed by a couple rounds of practice that was organized by former Skagit County KYG delegates.

We also have come up with a new quote for our magical team:

"We will not go quietly into the night! We will stand together, united and not be trodden under by the heavy heel of defeat! We will stand against all that opposes us, each playing a vital role that will benefit all of Skagit. Together we will be victorious!"

Our definition of citizenship is:

"Being a citizen is a s simple as being born in a place and inheriting general rights, but citizenship is much more. Citizenship means taking a stand and using your voice to make a difference with the intent of serving others and not merely yourself."
