Youth for Political Awareness

Welcome all! This site will be used as a way for the officers of the Baldwin Senior High School Youth for Political Awareness Club to transmit information.

I will try to post here as often as I can with information not only related to the club, but also some provocative political articles, sites, etc. I will also put some good sites to gather information from for writing bills or doing research.

Any questions? Leave a post or email me at Stoddardg@gmail.com
