Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
Voter Registration
Adpoted by the 103rd Annual Convention of
the
Central Conference of American Rabbis
San Antonio, Texas, April,
1992
In response to the alarming
decline in registration of American voters and specifically
Jewish voters, the Central Conference of
American Rabbis supports efforts to reverse
the trend of low voter turnout that has plagued
recent elections, and threatens to undermine the democratic
process.
THEREFORE LET IT BE
RESOLVED, that we
1. Urge every
congregation to undertake an effective voter registration campaign to
their members to register and vote,
along with too many Americans who are not registered.
2. We further urge that energies be focused
on mobilizing student-age eligible voters,
who are disproportionately not registered to vote.
