Dear Congressman Holden,
I am the sponsor parent for the Generation Joshua Keystone Club of Central Pennsylvania. We started the club in July of 2005 and have been consistently running since then. The teenagers are between the ages of 11 and 19 from Perry, Dauphin, Schuylkill, Lancaster, Cumberland and York Counties. We meet once a month to pray, talk about a passage of Scripture, discuss politics and other current events, as well as to study books relevant to impacting the society and culture. In the past, the club has also done service projects with a local crisis pregnancy center and Bethesda Mission, as well as non-partisan voter registration drives.
I write to ask you to please reconsider our invitation to debate with Toni Gilhooley on Sunday, August 17, 2008 at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg. It will only be for an hour, from 3:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon.
The kids have been involved with various political activities in the past, but this is the first time they are sponsoring a debate and are looking forward to the experience – learning something new about the political process during an election year.
I know that you are a busy man and probably have many functions to attend, but I just thought that I would appeal to you in behalf of these teenagers who have chosen to participate in government even before their voting years. Unlike their peers who may not be tuned in to the news, yet alone politics, the Gen J Club members are practicing good citizenship and training for leadership. I know that they would appreciate witnessing a legislative leader model sensitivity and appreciation for their level of patriotism.
I am including a copy of the Press Release we sent out. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Corie Moore,
