Resolutions: 
BIHR: Net neutrality is integral to freedom.
BIHR: The success of a democracy is dependent upon the education of its citizenry.
BIHR: Public education in America does not effectively provide opportunities for upward mobility.

Quotes:
“Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.” - Hon. Br. Franklin D. Roosevelt
“The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better.” - John Dewey
“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much…” - Theodore Roosevelt
