Decatur High School's Close
Up Club are working hard to raise funds to

“I want to go Washington, D.C. so that
when I'm able to vote, I will have confidence in who I'm voting
for and why.”
“This program shows students how the
American political process works and how they can become involved
in their local, state and federal governments.”
