Student Congress--soon to be called Congressional Debate--in the state of Washington uses this legislative packet (pdf) through December.

The November-December LD resolution is:

Resolved: Public health concerns justify compulsory immunization.

It's covered on my personal blog here, with more to come. Feel free to post your cases on this blog so others may view them.

The November Public Forum topic is:

Resolved: Failed nations are a greater threat to the United States than stable nations.

A basic introduction to Public Forum debate is available here (pdf).
