                               RESOLUTION


 
   Designating Thursday, November 16, 2006, as ``Feed America Day''.

Whereas Thanksgiving Day celebrates the spirit of selfless giving and an 
        appreciation for family and friends;
Whereas the spirit of Thanksgiving Day is a virtue upon which the United States 
        was founded;
Whereas, in 2006, great numbers of citizens of the United States continue to 
        suffer hunger and other privations; and
Whereas selfless sacrifice breeds a genuine spirit of Thanksgiving, both 
        affirming and restoring the fundamental principles of the society of the 
        United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates Thursday, November 16, 2006, as ``Feed 
        America Day''; and
            (2) calls upon the people of the United States--
                    (A) to sacrifice 2 meals on Thursday, November 16, 
                2006; and
                    (B) to donate to a religious or charitable 
                organization of their choice the money that they would 
                have spent on food for that day for the purpose of 
                feeding the hungry.
