New York comes up with the idea of having all the states participate in a talent show.

We want to take a look at the final version to determine in what way the state will participate.

For the first five years of the initiative, every state but California participated in the program.

United States participated in both the men's and women's tournaments.

"The only competition we could find in which all the states participate is the national Presidential election."

As of 2010, 34 states and territories participate in this program.

Some states did not participate or abide by the Act.

What must be mandatory, he said, is that the state and the communities participate.

With the exception of Wyoming, all states participate in the program.

But those countries want the United States to participate as well.
