SECOND REGULAR SESSION

House Concurrent Resolution No. 13

93RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY

4572L.02I

            Whereas, our forefathers of this great nation of the United
States recognized a Christian God and used the principles afforded to us
by Him as the founding principles of our nation; and

            Whereas, as citizens of this great nation, we the majority
also wish to exercise our constitutional right to acknowledge our
Creator and give thanks for the many gifts provided by Him; and

            Whereas, as elected officials we should protect the
majority's right to express their religious beliefs while showing
respect for those who object; and

            Whereas, we wish to continue the wisdom imparted in the
Constitution of the United States of America by the founding fathers;
and

            Whereas, we as elected officials recognize that a Greater
Power exists above and beyond the institutions of mankind:

             Now, therefore, be it resolved by the members of the House
of Representatives of the Ninety-third General Assembly, Second Regular
Session, the Senate concurring therein, that we stand with the majority
of our constituents and exercise the common sense that voluntary prayer
in public schools and religious displays on public property are not a
coalition of church and state, but rather the justified recognition of
the positive role that Christianity has played in this great nation of
ours, the United States of America.
