[II r,t~ flo~ JP~~y ~ ~ ~~ September 13, 1990 Legislative council Bill #15 UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO STUDENT UNION Sponsored by: ucsu Authored by: CSA President President Pro-Tempore Mike Drews Kurt Colburn A BILL BILL HISTORY The Representative Assembly of the Colorado Student Association decided in April to include voter Registration as one of its top five 1990 platform issues. Less than 40% of college age citizens vote; a fearful statistic for student organizations working for changes in higher education policy. To combat the low student-voter turnout rate, CSA has organized a voter registration campaign in conjunction with Colorado student governments (University of Northern Colorado, University of Southern Colorado, University of Colorado-Denver, and Colorado State University) and the Colorado Public Interest Research Group (CoPIRG). Jesse Jackson will be CSA's featured speaker for this years voter registration drive on October 5th (he will be on the Boulder campus at 2:00). Jackson spoke at cu in 1988 to a crowd of almost 5, 000 students. Hundreds of students registered to vote. Because Jackson will speak at only half of CSA's member campuses, it is requesting that each ·campus contribute $500 dollars to be used for partial funding of its October 5th Student Voter Registration Drive.
