Paul in which a number of the students. AfricanAmerican and Hispanic as well as white and. also. a real strong Asian population at the school. stood up and saidand it kind of broke my heart.-that they do not have that much confidence or faith in "the system"-I have heard that before in my lifetime--and that they really are beginning to give up hope about what could be done. I said to them that what my father would have said. who was a Jewish immigrant from what used to be the Soviet Union. that we have an unfair system. but it is not an unfair closed system. It is an unfair open system and we have the possibility. in a representative democracy. for people to register to vote. And this piece of legislation encourages citizens. young people especially. to do exactly what we all hope all Americans will do. which is to be able to register and vote and make this a better country.
