                               RESOLUTION


 
           Condemning the recent actions of the Ku Klux Klan.

Whereas the Ku Klux Klan has long preached hate against people of an ethnicity, 
        race, or religion differing from its members;
Whereas the Ku Klux Klan has recently distributed hate-filled, anti-immigrant 
        fliers in Manassas, Virginia, and other places;
Whereas the distribution of these flyers is yet another attempt to demonize 
        minorities to further the Ku Klux Klan's own extremist philosophy;
Whereas the Ku Klux Klan violently opposed the Civil Rights Movement by 
        terrorizing innocent people;
Whereas civil society must always strongly denounce the pernicious racism and 
        violence espoused by the Ku Klux Klan;
Whereas the terrible actions of the Ku Klux Klan highlights the need to be more 
        welcoming to immigrants; and
Whereas the Ku Klux Klan has long used hate and violence to spread fear among 
        people they view as antithetical to their disturbing vision of the 
        future of the United States as a place that excludes all differences of 
        belief, nationality, or race: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives strongly condemns the 
Ku Klux Klan for its long history of hate and for its most recent 
expression through the targeting of immigrant groups.
