HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 184 Commending 90 for 90.

 

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 9, 2018

 

WHEREAS, in 1956, Dr. William Ferguson Reid cofounded one of the most formidable political organizations in Virginia, the Richmond Crusade for Voters; and

WHEREAS, the Richmond Crusade for Voters was formed in part as a result of Dr. Reid’s efforts to support and work with those struggling against injustices and to provide opportunities for those people to register more voters and achieve more African American representation in elected offices; and

WHEREAS, today, each person in the campaign is honoring Dr. Reid by committing to registering new voters for the next election; through the 90 for 90 initiative, each person in the campaign will work to register 90 new voters in each of Virginia’s precincts; and

WHEREAS, if all volunteers and candidates worked together to register 90 new voters in each of the Commonwealth’s precincts, their efforts would result in a quarter million new voters for the Old Dominion; and

WHEREAS, 90 for 90 will provide many Virginians with the opportunity to become new voters and to be seen, heard, and represented in elected official positions; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, That 90 for 90 hereby be commended for its work to provide new opportunities for civic engagement in Virginia; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Virginians participating in and contributing to the success of 90 for 90 as an expression of the House of Delegates’ admiration for their accomplishments.
