My Community Project is helping the Bayside Broncos Pop Warner Cheer Program with coaching and the planning of the season.  The relationship between citizens and my project are support and help.  All of the coaches in both the football and cheerleading aspects of the program are volunteers.  There are also people who volunteer to work he ticket booths, snack shacks, etc.  These people help to support the organization by providing these kids with a well-run organization to participate in.  If there is no citizen participation then there would be no program.  If parents didn’t sign up their children we would have no participants, if people didn’t volunteer we would have coaches or people to run the program. Citizen involvement is very important to keep the program running.

In 1965, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act.  This act aimed to overcome legal barriers that prevented African-Americans their right the to vote, under the 15^th Amendment, at state and local levels.   This act is considered to be one of the most influential pieces of civil rights legislation in United States history.  Giving African-Americans the right to vote was part of Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of a completely equal nation.  He wanted everyone to have a say in who ran his or her city, state, and country.  I personally don’t believe that this act is under any type of danger to be changed and to put any minorities in danger of not being able to vote simply because it would be unconstitutional.  America prides itself on being the “land of the free” and with any changes to this act that statement would no longer be true.
