L01________: Whereas No defined amount of loan ;
L02________: In the bill it only states that the government can only have

L03________:
L04________: Whereas: Ethanol is not helpful for the economy of the

L01________: Whereas: The United States is currently faced with

L03________:
L04________: Whereas: The use of hemp fiber is more environmentally
L05________: efficient than that of wood fiber.
L06________:
L07________: Whereas: There are many uses for hemp and if production
L08________: is legalized, there will be thousands of jobs created and
L09________: thus the economy will be stimulated.
L10________:
L11________: Therefore: be it resolved that the congress assembled

Title: Electoral College
L01________: Whereas the electoral college system is hindered by three
L02________: major defects 1) the winner of the popular vote is not
L03________: guranteed the presidency; 2) electors are not required
L04________: to vote in accord with the popular vote; and 3) any election
L05________: might have to be decided in the House of Representatives;and
L06________:
L07________: Whereas proportional representation would cure the winner-
L08________: take-all problem and eliminate faithless electors; and
L09________:
L10________: Whereas proportional representation would yield an electoral
L11________: vote more in line with the popular, at least for each State;
L12________:
L13________: now therefore be it resolved by teh Student Congress here

Title: A Resolution to Universal Healthcare
L01________: Whereas universal healthcare can be seen as an equal
L02________: opportunity for everyone to receive the healthcare they
L03________: need, but the downside of universal healthcare for Americans
L04________: is that it has an extremely negative effect on American
L05________: doctors.
L06________:
L07________: Whereas this policy appears to be fair, it is not to
L08________: everyone. Now, it may be a great thing for the
L09________: patients, but doctors are the people that keep you from
L10________: getting sick, cure diseases, help perform life-risking
L11________: and life-saving surgeries, and give you lollipops when
L12________: you're little and behave through your yearly check-up. They
L13________: deserve to be honored and rewarded. With this system,
L14________: I believe that respect and honor for these people will not
L15________: continue.
L16________:
L17________: Whereas the American people are in need of an alteration
L18________: to the healthcare system, handing this issue over to the
L19________: government entirely is not the answer. The government,
L20________: over the years, has grown corrupt enough. Americans do not
L21________: need the government to be in charge of one more thing that
L22________: they can ruin or cause great irreversible damage to. A
L23________: failure of American healthcare is a failure that will effect
L24________: everyone and everything forever.
L25________:
L26________: Whereas cultural diffusion may seem wonderful, we should let
L27________: the French have their policy and construct our own. Just
L28________: because one man's hospital bill is covered more than another
L29________: man's, that doesn't mean America needs to adopt a policy
L30________: that can seem reminiscent of Communism. Take the struggle
L31________: and challenge out of the human race and you would be left
L32________: with strangely lazy and undeserving people.
L33________:
L34________: Resolved by the Student Congress here assembled that
L35________: universal healthcare is not beneficial to American doctors;
L36________: and be it further resolved by constructing our own policies.

Title: A resolution to provide Universal Daycare for Children
L01________:
L02________: Whereas: The amount of women working has risen from 44% in
L03________: 1973, to about 60% in 2008, and working men at around 75%
L04________: , less and less children do not have a parent at home taking

L06________: necessary early child education that prepares them for
L07________: primary education (U.S. Census Bureau); and,
L08________:
L09________: Whereas: Families bringing in less than 1,500 dollars a
L10________: month pay about 32 percent of that income in childcare
L11________: expenses. In total about 480 dollars a month.
L12________: (U.S. Census Bureau); and,
L13________:
L14________: Whereas: It is our moral obligation as citizens of this
L15________: government, to ensure the success of our prosperity,
L16________: and to provide every child with a proper early education
L17________: and ensure equal opportunity for every child in society
L18________: to succeed;
L19________:
L20________: Resolved: I propose the establishment of a National Daycare
L21________: Service, in which all children between the ages 3 months to
L22________: 5 years can attend. The National Daycare Service will be
L23________: funded directly by the federal government. Daycare Centers
L24________: will vary in size (depending on population), personnel, and
L25________: will be in every area of the country. The service is free
