A RESOLUTION urging Congress to pass a pending resolution proposing an amendment to the United States Constitution relating to voluntary school prayer.
Whereas Congress is currently considering a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the United States Constitution relative to voluntary school prayer which reads as follows:
"Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to prohibit individual or group prayer in public schools or other public institutions. No person shall be required by the United States or by any State to participate in prayer. Neither the United States nor any State shall compose the words of any prayer to be said in public schools."; and
Whereas the New Hampshire house of representatives finds that said resolution duly embodies the core principals of liberty and tolerance inherent in a free and democratic society; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the New Hampshire house of representatives urges Congress to pass the above-mentioned resolution so that it may be put to a ratification vote of the several states, and
That the clerk of the New Hampshire house of representatives shall forward copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation.
