                               RESOLUTION


 
Acknowledging the importance of understanding the history of the United 
      States of America and recognizing the need to foster civic 
                    responsibility in all citizens.

Whereas we celebrate the 220th Anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of 
        the United States of America in September 2007;
Whereas historical documents such as the Declaration of Independence, the 
        Constitution of the United States of America, and the Bill of Rights 
        should be the foundations of an education in American history and the 
        guidelines for civic responsibility; and
Whereas every citizen has a duty to family, school, and community to participate 
        as civic leaders and promote the tenets embodied in our founding 
        documents: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) acknowledges the importance of understanding the 
        history of the United States of America; and
            (2) recognizes the need to foster civic responsibility in 
        all citizens.
                                 <all>
