Virtual Vote at the U.S. Capitol – Visitor Center

A growing city needs a new water source. The easiest and cheapest source is a river on federal land in a national park. Should the city be allowed to dam the river and use the water for its citizens? Or, should the valley remain protected for the use and enjoyment of all Americans?

In this online program, students assume the role of members of Congress. They hear testimony from both sides, weigh conflicting points of view and make a decision.

How will you vote?
