SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 20

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize the James Tull Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, which is celebrating September 17 through 23, 2021, as Constitution Week; and

WHEREAS, September 17, 2021, marks the 234th anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America; Public Law 915 guarantees the issuance of an annual proclamation by the president of the United States designating September 17 through 23 as Constitution Week; and

WHEREAS, For more than two centuries, the United States Constitution has provided a framework through which the people of the United States can continue to reaffirm the ideals of liberty and justice held dearly by its framers; and

WHEREAS, It is truly fitting that a week be set aside to pay tribute to this magnificent document and to call on people across the country to reflect on the rights and responsibilities of United States citizenship; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby commend the members of the James Tull Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution on their outstanding work in raising awareness of the importance of the United States Constitution and extend to them best wishes for a memorable Constitution Week celebration; and, be it further
