SECOND REGULAR SESSION
House Concurrent Resolution No. 13
93RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY
4572L.02I
http://www.house.state.mo.us/bills061/bills/hcr13.htm
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.
