RESOLUTION NO. 6526
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA OPPOSING THE PROPOSED UNIVERSAL
VOTER REGISTRATION ACT.
WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States is currently
considering a proposed Universal Voter Registration Bill
which ideally is intended to provide for greater voter turn
out at all elections; and
WHEREAS, the implementation of this act will result
in what people, concerned with the operation of elections,
feel to be a state of confusion and the possibility of
illegal voting by people who will subvert what the act
intends; and
WHEREAS, it is felt that the principles of our demo-
cracy depend to a large extent on the willingness of its
members to display initiative in selecting their leaders.
A law which will lead people by the hand to the polling
place and provide all manner of facilities, can do no less
than sap the strength of our Nation.
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Azusa goes on record, formally and wholeheartedly,
opposing the enactment of such a law, and joins with others
in urging our Congress to take the necessary steps in order
to prevent this from becoming a law of the land.
