1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION | ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, It is of the upmost importance for all entities | ||||||
3 | throughout the State of Illinois to express support for our | ||||||
4 | country and State by only flying the American flag and the | ||||||
5 | Illinois State flag; and
| ||||||
6 | WHEREAS, The American flag and Illinois State flag are | ||||||
7 | representative of the diverse make up of this State and this | ||||||
8 | country, making flying any other flag unnecessary; and
| ||||||
9 | WHEREAS, All people from different walks of life are | ||||||
10 | welcome to our State where people are free to be themselves to | ||||||
11 | the fullest, a freedom that our American flag represents best; | ||||||
12 | and
| ||||||
13 | WHEREAS, In light of recent events in the world, there | ||||||
14 | have been public institutes throughout the United States and | ||||||
15 | Illinois that have taken it upon themselves to fly foreign | ||||||
16 | flags alongside or instead of the United States flag; this is a | ||||||
17 | disgrace to our country and to those who have made sacrifices | ||||||
18 | to keep this country the best in the world; and
| ||||||
19 | WHEREAS, The United States has been a trailblazer for | ||||||
20 | freedom by demonstrating what is achievable in a country while | ||||||
21 | providing a blueprint for other nations to follow to provide |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the luxury of freedom; there is no place for our public | ||||||
2 | entities in this State to fly foreign flags; therefore, be it
| ||||||
3 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
4 | HUNDRED THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
5 | we urge all entities throughout Illinois to fly only the | ||||||
6 | American flag and the State of Illinois flag; and be it further
