                               RESOLUTION


 
 Designating Thursday, November 15, 2007, as ``Feed America Thursday''.

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 Nation was 
        founded;
Whereas, according to the Department of Agriculture, roughly 35,000,000 people 
        in the United States, including 12,000,000 children, continue to live in 
        households that do not have an adequate supply of food; and
Whereas selfless sacrifice breeds a genuine spirit of thanksgiving, both 
        affirming and restoring fundamental principles in our society: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates Thursday, November 15, 2007, as ``Feed 
        America Thursday''; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to sacrifice 
        2 meals on Thursday, November 15, 2007, and to donate the money 
        that they would have spent on food to a religious or charitable 
        organization of their choice for the purpose of feeding the 
        hungry.
