Blast From The Past
These archives are for all the various front page stories that you've come to expect on the NYRA page. If you miss a current story check back here, it'll be archived. Also for novelties sake scroll down and see what NYRA was up to months and years ago. It's interesting to see how far we've come.

Presidential Candidate Supports Lowering Voting Age
Children's Press Line, caught some of the democratic presidential candidates after a debate. CPL's reporters asked the candidates a couple of vital questions concerning America's Youth. Perhaps most importantly, the candidates were asked what they thought of lowering the voting age. When asked for his opinion on the issue of the voting age, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich had this to say: "It's time to introduce legislation into the Congress for that. It's a good idea." This is a major victory for Youth Rights. A well known congressman and presidential candidate supports lowering the voting age. Perhaps equally exciting, the other candidates asked, were not overtly hostile to the idea. While NYRA cannot and does not support any political candidate, Congressman Kucinich is clearly in favor of lowering the voting age, our primary goal. The full story can be read here.

Supreme Court Rules for Youth Rights
Today the US Supreme Court dealt politically active youth a great victory by striking down the congressional ban on political contributions by people under 18. Using no uncertain terms the Supreme Court stated the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act "which forbids individuals '17 years old or younger' to make contributions to candidates and political parties violates the First Amendment rights of minors," The majority opinion, written by Chief Justice Rehnquist, applied a "heightened scrutiny" standard to the issue and found the Government did not make a strong enough case to withstand that level of scrutiny. The Supreme Court overturned this unconstitutional infringement of the rights of youth by a vote of 9-0. Justice Thomas concurred separately, saying "there is not an iota of evidence supporting the Government's asserted interests." NYRA is overjoyed to see this victory for youth rights affirmed by the highest court in the land. The Court even cited Tinker vs. Des Moines, proving that decision is not dead but is still very relevant. The full 300 page decision can be read here. The relevant parts are on page 148 and 149 of the .pdf.

Langley Resigns, Davidson Appointed
On November 13th, DeWarren Langley resigned from both the NYRA Board, and from his position as the director of the Chapter Formation and Advisory Office. DeWarren resigned due to differences of opinion, stemming from his very literal view of NYRA's mission statement and his strong opinions with regard to the best possible structuring of the CFAO. DeWarren's abrupt resignation left NYRA without one of its most active members. DeWarren was very active, and someone who brought some impressive credentials to NYRA. We wish him the best of luck with his future. At a November 23rd meeting, the NYRA Board of Directors voted to appoint, Scott Davidson, to fill DeWarren's vacancy. Davidson said,"As a Director, I hope to continue to serve this organization to the best of my abilities as I have been striving to do as both Secretary and "NYRA Freedom" Editor."

NYRA Needs Financial Support
NYRA needs a budget to remain a viable organization and to step up its efforts around the country to become a visable and vocal proponent for Youth Rights. An idea is being persued to hold a large benefit show this March that would raise enough money to get NYRA a firm financial base and a secure future. To hold this show $50,000 is needed upfront. NYRA is calling for help from all supporters of Youth Rights to put their money where their mouth is and contribute to support NYRA's continued efforts on behalf of your rights. Please donate today.
NYRA Plugged on NPR
On November 9th, NYRA-DC chapter President and NYRA Director Laura Finstad appeared on National Public Radio's "That Democracy Show" in Washington. The show featured young people discussing the benefits of working outside of the system versus working within the system. NYRA believes that a balance should be struck between the two. Laura managed to get in an insightful and well articulated comment pertaining to NYRA-DC and the voting age. Later on someone called in and mentioned NYRA, shortly after that a second caller, unafiliated with NYRA, called and spoke about the voting age. A lot of people, most of whom are probably young and political conscious, were listening to the program. A new member joined shortly after Laura's comments aired and NYRA assumes that this is a direct result of Laura's appearance on the show. This can be seen as a great success.

Police Raid School With Guns Drawn
A dozen officers in Goose Creek, South Carolina stormed through the halls of Stratford High School with guns drawn, forcing 107 students to lay on the floor and submit to a drug dog search.  Students were commanded to get on their knees with their hands behind their head, students who did not respond quick enough were put into handcuffs. One student said, "I thought one of the guns was going to go off and shoot or kill somebody, so I just got down to my knees and covered my head for protection." The scene, which looks more like Iraq than a high school, was captured by the school survellance cameras and then broadcast by the media. The raid was an attempt to find marijuana, but no drugs were found. One student said: "They would go put a gun up to them and push them against the wall and they would like take their bookbags." Parents were outraged at the raid, but principal George McCrackin said he would “utilize whatever forces that I deem necessary” to keep drugs out of the school. State police are now investigating the incident. NYRA members are encouraged to express your outrage by e-mailing Principal George McCrackin, the Goose Creek Chief of Police Harvey Becker, Charleston Post and Courier, and your local newspaper.

Advocates Circulate Sex Ed Petition
A petition for honest sexual education is currently being circulated by a NYRA ally. The people responsible for the petition were hoping to have 50,000 signatures already, but they still encourage people to sign it.  The petition, sponsored by Advocates for Youth, cites parallels between sexual education and drug education as reasoning to avoid a "just say no" approach to sex ed. Advocates for Youth feels that young people need to know the truth about sex, and too often they are kept from the facts which leads to problems. They believe that abstinence is still a good method of protection, but they also say that contraception should be taught as well. While NYRA does not work on sex ed, we feel it is important to highlight the efforts of other pro-youth organizations. It is fair to assume that many individuals who support Youth Rights will be interested in signing this petition.

NYRA President Presents at NYLC
On Wednesday, October 29th, NYRA President and Executive Director Alex Koroknay-Palicz presented a workshop on Youth Rights at the National Young Leaders Conference, it was the fourth he has done in the month of October. Always known as someone who can successfully communicate NYRA's message to the public, Alex received a great reaction from the students. After the presentation, Alex managed to quickly sell thirty-six buttons. Eighteen new members joined at his last NYLC appearance, this is good and typical of past NYRA workshops at NYLC. Alex stated that most people who attended his workshop had a very positive experience and were very open to what he had to say.

Member Fights Online Ageism
There are many websites on the Internet dedicated to humor. These sites, while often very funny, sometimes have ageist disclaimers. Often a website will have something that says their material is not appropriate for individuals under the age of eighteen. NYRA member Jessica Jordan decided to do something about it. She has written letters to The Onion, Landover, and Whitehouse.org, who all have the ageist disclaimers. Jessica has set up this site for individuals interested in writing similar letters. Jessica began an online petition against discrimination online. Jessica plans on incorporating her effort into a NYRA Chapter.

NYRA Featured on AOL News
On September 17 NYRA made an unexpected appearance as part of the top news story on America Online's welcome screen. NYRA-DC President, Laura Finstad, and NYRA Executive Director, Alex  Koroknay-Palicz were both interviewed for an ABCnews.com article about lowering the voting age that appeared on the 17th. AOL news picked up the story and used it for its top story. Many of AOL's 33 million members were introduced to the idea of lowering the voting age, and many saw arguments put forward by the National Youth Rights Association. Over 290,000 people voted in the online poll alone, meaning many millions more saw the story. Read the story here.

NYRA-NC Fights to Lower Age to Run for Office
NYRA has joined the campaign to amend North Carolina's constitition to allow candidates under 21 to run for local office. Attempts by Zach Medford and Jonus Nobles, both under 21, to run for local office in North Carolina have attracted a good deal of media attention to the state's prohibition on candidates under 21. NYRA's currently forming chapter in NC has sprung to action. DeWarren Langley from the national office, and NYRA-NC chapter president, Stevie Nabors are working to amend the state constitution to allow all registered voters the chance to run for office. NYRA feels there are no reasons for age restrictions to run for office. If a candidate lacks experience and political skills voters won't elect him, age is irrelevant. Read NYRA's Press Release here.
Curfew Site Unveiled
After much work NYRA has unveiled their comprehensive curfew  page this week. Hailed as the most complete curfew resource on the Internet, the curfew page joins NYRA's popular Drinking Age and Voting Age pages. The new site contains a Curfew FAQ, an analysis of curfews, and an in-depth action page. Plus much more. Expansion of the curfew resource is underway and when completed will include a state-by-state listing of American curfew laws. Stay tuned for updates.

Censorware Defeated by Peacefire
NYRA Advisory Board member, Bennett Haselton has invented Circumventor, a program designed to circumvent all blocking software and censorship programs. The program works by creating a site mirror at different URLs not blocked by the censorware. Due to the success of Bennett's organization, Peacefire, at disabling blocking software imposed on American teens, the US government hired Bennett to develop a way for Chinese citizens to get around the "Great Firewall of China", the nationwide effort by the Chinese government to censor the information their people can access. Never forgetting his Youth Rights roots, Bennett has made the program available on the net for any youth wanting to get around CYBERsitter, Net Nanny, AOL Parental Controls, or any other censorware out there. Ironically the US government paid to develop a program to circumvent US government mandated censorship at schools and libraries. So download Circumventor today, and defeat censorware once and for all.

Hawaii Students Support Lowering Voting Age
Recently the Hawaii State Student Council hosted its annual Student Leadership Workshop for school officers like class presidents, vice-presidents, and student council members. 195 student leaders attended this year's workshop. With no prior education effort the students were polled on the idea of lowering the voting age and 49.24% agreed it should be lowered. 38.46% said it shouldn't, and 12.3% were undecided. This is a positive show of support for the effort to lower the voting age. Kelsey Yamasaki, the Legislative Chairman of the Hawaii State Student Council, has promised to send a fact sheet and additional survey to student leaders before the legislative session begins. With support from a majority of student leaders the prospects for a lowered voting age in Hawaii look bright.

All Montgomery County, MD residents are encouraged to sign the petition.

Youth Rebel in Costa Rica, Overthrow Gulag School
The harshest institutions of youth oppression got a violent taste of youth power this week as the school's "students rose up in revolt and overthrew their masters." The Costa Rican school, Dundee Ranch, subjects American teens to a gauntlet of abuse and oppression to break their will and "reform" them. Students have no privacy, can't communicate and punishments ranging from physical beatings to solitary confinement for any who break the 100-plus rules. After complaints of abuse, Costa Rican authorities visited the school. "They told us you have the right to speak, you have the right to speak to your parents, you have the right to leave if you feel you've been mistreated," said Hugh Maxwell, 17, of Rhode Island. "Kids heard that and they started running for the door. There was elation, cheering and clapping and chaos." Dundee Ranch employees beat the students to get them to stop, but many escaped and many fought back. Some students armed themselves with sticks to take their frustrations out against their captors. 35 students escaped Dundee Ranch, choosing to try their fate in the countryside rather than stay. One student said, "staff members started kicking, hitting and choking children to stop them from leaving, and that the punishment continued for hours after the Costa Rican officials left." Casa Alianza International has asked the United Nations Committee Against Torture in Geneva to initiate an investigation into the school. Get more information here.

Campaign to Lower Takoma Park Voting Age Begun
With an energetic rally on Saturday May 17, the Lower the Vote Coalition began its campaign to lower the voting age to 16 in the Maryland city of Takoma Park. Local TV was present to video tape the entire rally. A NYRA copy of the rally was made as well and will be made available on YouthRights.org. Rally speakers included Laura Finstad of NYRA-DC, Scott Beale of Youth Venture, Alexis Grant of NYRA-HP, Carolyn Darrow of the Youth Vote Coalition, Alex Koroknay-Palicz of NYRA, and Wendy Lesko of the Youth Activism Project. The campaign is attracting a good deal of support and assistance from area organizations; the Montgomery County League of Woman Voters is the latest group to voice their support for the campaign. Next the campaign will set up meetings with City Council members to discuss the issue more in-depth. "I am very pleased with the level of support from the area, and I am optimistic Takoma Park will soon be the first US city with a voting age of 16." said NYRA President, Alex Koroknay-Palicz. Please click here to donate to the campaign.
NYRA-Mizzou Speaks-Out Against Curfew
NYRA-Mizzou member, John Wells, joined more than a dozen individuals in speaking out in opposition to a proposed curfew law in Columbia, Missouri. Under the proposed law, curfews would affect people under 17 and last between 11 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. On Friday and Saturday, they would be between midnight and 5:30 a.m. A maximum fine of $1,000 could be imposed. The NAACP, the ACLU, and several concerned citizens joined NYRA in opposing the proposed curfew. Based on the issues raised at the meeting the measure was tabled until a later meeting to allow further debate and discussion. NYRA-Mizzou intends to continue its opposition work. Read articles here and here.

Ban on Minor Contributions Struck Down
In a unanimous 3-0 decision the US District Court of Washington, DC struck down the provision to last year's campaign finance reform law that prohibited all political contributions by individuals under 18. In the Memorandum Opinion of Judge Henderson he wrote that "no case of which I am aware holds that a minor's speech is less valuable to himself -- or to the political marketplace -- simply because of his youth." Addressing the arguments by the law's sponsors, Judge Henderson discounted the idea that parents would funnel money to parties through their children. Judge Henderson stated the law, "does not serve any governmental interest, much less a 'sufficently important' or 'compelling one.'" This victory will prove young people are not a "loophole" to close, we are citizens intent on charting our own political destiny. McConnell vs. the FEC next goes to the US Supreme Court for a final ruling, NYRA intends to write an amicus brief for it. Read the ruling here.
Takoma Park Voting Age Campaign Kick-Off
The DC chapter of NYRA is busy at work preparing for their May 17 rally on the steps of Takoma Park, Maryland's city hall that will launch their campaign to lower the voting age to 16 in this city. The chapter is reaching out to high schools and non-profits all through the area to gain support for this campaign. If successful Takoma Park will be the first city in the nation to lower its voting age to 16. "A victory here will provide the spark to ignite the ready fuel being laid all across the nation." says NYRA President Alex Koroknay-Palicz. Contact NYRA-DC President Laura Finstad for more details.

NYRA Testimony for Texas Voting Age Bill a Success
NYRA was the only organization testifying on behalf of the voting age bill, though several other organizations signed on their support. Justin, a senior at the University of Texas, spoke in favor of House Bill 482 and House Joint Resolution 29, the bills introduced by Rep. Ron Wilson (D-Houston) back in January. NYRA sent out a press release about the testimony. The only opposing testimony was given by the Texas Republican party. Since there weren't enough committee members present to vote on the bill it has been left pending. NYRA member Justin Webb vows to continue "to do some grassroots lobbying throughout the coming weeks with incessant phone calls, visits and delivery of pertinent literature." NYRA's efforts in Texas joins similar attempts to lower the voting age in Florida, North Dakota, the United Kingdom, Canada, Jerusalem, Alaska, and Washington, DC.

NYRA Testifies on Behalf of Texas Voting Age Bill
NYRA representative Justin Webb testified at 2 PM, today April 23rd in front of the Texas House Committee on Elections. Justin, a senior at the University of Texas, spoke in favor of House Bill 482 and House Joint Resolution 29, the bills introduced by Rep. Ron Wilson (D-Houston) back in January. NYRA sent out a press release about the testimony. Justin first heard of the bill through his internship at the Texas Public Interest Research Group and came across NYRA while doing research for his testimony. Referring to youth Justin says it is ironic that "the same govening body that doesn't represent them passes laws that can try them as 'adults.'" NYRA's efforts in Texas joins similar attempts to lower the voting age in Florida, North Dakota, the United Kingdom, Canada, Jerusalem, Alaska, and Washington, DC.
Maine Bill On Hold
Despite a vigorous letter writing campaign in favor of LD 640, the Maine bill that would lower the voting age statewide to 17, the bill has been put on hold. Lacking the 2/3rds vote necessary in the House to pass the bill, the sponsor, Rep. Glenn Cummings (D-Portland) decided to put the bill on hold for the time being. Next January he will attempt other measures including allowing 17-year-olds to register to vote if they will turn 18 by the general election, and a law that will allow local municipalities to lower their voting age independently. Rep. Cummings is more confident of the passage of these bills. He sends thanks to all the NYRA members who wrote letters in support.
Students to Picket DC 7-11
Joining NYRA's ongoing campaign against age discrimination, NYRA-DC, NYRA-American University, and NYRA-High Point are joining together to protest the ageist policy outside of a Washington, DC 7-11. Despite the fact that adults are responsible for twice as much shoplifting as youth, this policy prohibits more than 2 students inside at any one time. Many NYRA-DC members have been victims of this policy and have decided to fight back. NYRA members will be picketing in front of the business at 5 PM on April 25th.

NYRA Campaigns to Lower Maine Voting Age
With the passage of LD 640 on March 25 in committee the bill that will lower the voting age to 17 now heads to the full Maine House of Representatives. The bill passed with overwhelming support by a vote of 11-2, even the bill's sponsor, Rep. Glenn Cummings, D-Portland, was a little surprized. "This is a historic opportunity, if this bill passes the voters of Maine will decide whether to lower the voting age." commented NYRA President, Alex Koroknay-Palicz. Members and supporters are encouraged to write letters to Maine lawmakers and newspapers advocating for this bill. A comprehensive campaign page has been set up for NYRA members to get involved. The Maine campaign joins similar attempts to lower the voting age in Florida, North Dakota, the United Kingdom, Texas, Jerusalem, Alaska, and Washington, DC.

NYRA-DC Prepares for Busy Year
At their monthly chapter meeting on March 1st, President Laura Finstad outlined an ambitious year of youth rights activism. NYRA-DC has taken its first step toward lowering the voting age in the area by contacting area city councils. The chapter has also begun inquiries into establishing a Youth Center for the city. Several fundraising concerts are in the works and will be announced shortly. Between the funds from the concerts and their partnership with Youth Venture, NYRA-DC will have the resources needed for success.
New Study Distorted in Media
A new study has been released this week that proves that a majority of young people as young as 11 are as competent as adults to stand trial. Despite proof showing that a majority of 11-15 year olds and all 16-17 year olds display adult competence, this study has been wildly misinterpreted by the media to say the small minorities of youth who lacked competence according to the study color the entire age group. NYRA spoke out on this issue by issuing a press release, but was stonewalled by the media. If the average 14 year old is competent to stand trial it takes little imagination to say he is also competent to vote or enjoy a host of other rights.

One Vote Away in Anchorage
A measure before the Anchorage, Alaska city assembly that would have given voters the chance to lower the voting age failed by one vote. On Tuesday February 11 the assembly voted seven in favor, and four opposed and as a constitutional amendment it needed eight affirmative votes to be passed to the voters. Despite loosing the vote, campaign leader Corey Rennell said, "Youth will no longer be brushed off as powerless. Even without the franchise we have demonstrated our power and our abilities. The classic negative teen stereotypes has been smashed." Anchorage voters will still be able to have an informal vote on lowering the voting age this April, however the results will be non-binding. Corey and the Youth Civic Rights Movement intends to press on and has filed a legal case challenging the state's ban on youth petitioners.
