                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 6, 2017

  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, today I, with Representatives Suzanne 
Bonamici, Peter DeFazio, Kurt Schrader, and Greg Walden and the support 
of Sens. Wyden and Merkley, am introducing a resolution commemorating 
the bravery of Rick Best, Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, and Micah 
David-Cole Fletcher. These courageous heroes stood up against hate and 
injustice. Rick, Taliesin, and Micah make us proud to be Oregonians. 
This resolution is to honor these heroes, help our community heal, and 
allow for introspection and broader discussion. As we begin the process 
of healing, we must all continue to protect one another, help one 
another, and work for peace and justice. I urge the House to pass this 
resolution.
