“Gracious God, we come to You on this day, thankful to live
in such a great land—honored to be entrusted to serve the people of Michigan.
Remind us that we serve a higher power and work for the common good of the
citizens of this state.
Humble us that we might give our best for the least.
Empower us to make great and noble decisions.
Inspire us to believe in a brighter tomorrow.
Instill in us wisdom to lead and joy to serve.
May all our efforts bring the people of
this state and of this nation to a greater sense of respect and community.
And yet, on this day, please calm the fears in our hearts,
heal the wounds in our bodies and pour out blessing on our families. May we see
that as You hold the world in Your hands--You hold each of us close to Your
heart. All this we ask in the name of Jesus. AMEN.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Slagh, Hornberger and Shannon offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 12.
A resolution to declare January 31, 2019, as Omphalocele Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, An omphalocele is
a birth defect that occurs early in pregnancy in which the abdominal wall does
not close properly and some or most of the abdominal organs protrude on the
outside of the fetus's body through the umbilical cord; and
Whereas, It is estimated
that a small omphalocele occurs in about 1 out of every 5,000 pregnancies and a
large or giant omphalocele occurs in about 1 out of every 10,000 pregnancies;
and
Whereas, An omphalocele may
be isolated or may be associated with other defects or chromosomal
abnormalities; and
Whereas, Despite the
challenges a baby born with an omphalocele may face, many babies who are born
with an omphalocele survive and go on to live happy, healthy lives; and
Whereas, Mothers of
Omphaloceles, “MOO”, is a group of parents from around the world that was
created to provide hope, support, and information to families with babies
diagnosed with an omphalocele; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 31,
2019, as Omphalocele Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize and
commend the Mothers of Omphaloceles for their courageous efforts to advocate
for their children.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Slagh moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Resolution No. 12.
A resolution to declare January 31, 2019, as Omphalocele Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, An omphalocele is
a birth defect that occurs early in pregnancy in which the abdominal wall does
not close properly and some or most of the abdominal organs protrude on the
outside of the fetus’s body through the umbilical cord; and
Whereas, It is estimated
that a small omphalocele occurs in about 1 out of every 5,000 live births and a
large or giant omphalocele occurs in about 1 out of every 10,000 live births;
and
Whereas, An omphalocele may
be isolated or may be associated with other defects or chromosomal
abnormalities; and
Whereas, Despite the
challenges a baby born with an omphalocele may face, many babies who are born
with an omphalocele survive and go on to live happy, healthy lives; and
Whereas, Mothers of
Omphaloceles, “MOO”, is a group of parents from around the world that was
created to provide hope, support, and information to families with babies
diagnosed with an omphalocele; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 31,
2019, as Omphalocele Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize and
commend the Mothers of Omphaloceles for their courageous efforts to advocate
for their children.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The
resolution was adopted.
Reps. Whitsett, Sowerby, Reilly, Hammoud, Tyrone Carter, Camilleri, Gay-Dagnogo, Stone, Vaupel, Elder, Garza, Sabo, Hoadley, Cynthia Johnson, Wittenberg, Robinson, Brixie, Bolden, Pohutsky, Love, Haadsma, Hope, Manoogian, Shannon and Sneller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 13.
A resolution to commemorate in the state of Michigan January 2019 as the 90th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Whereas, Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr. sparks inspiration, strength, and determination. He was born on
January 15, 1929, but the icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born in 1955 when
he first caught the national eye while boycotting a transportation company in
Birmingham, Alabama; and
Whereas, Dr. King’s life
was prematurely ended but is still profoundly impactful. Although his time as
an activist was cut short, he managed to spearhead the 1964 Civil Rights
Movement ending public segregation on the basis of race, gender, or religion;
and
Whereas, His advocacy and
determination helped secure the right to vote for African Americans in 1965. MLK’s nonviolent approach taught the public humanity, and
the lessons set the standard for how minority populations deserve to be
treated. His timeless teachings apply not only to the treatment of the black
population, but to any group who has suffered injustice at the hands of the
majority; and
Whereas, MLK serves as champion for the marginalized and preached to
the privileged. He helped foster an understanding between the disenfranchised
and the powerful. Honoring his legacy acts as a reminder to the injustice our
American brothers and sisters endured; and
Whereas, Racism and
injustice has not been eradicated since Dr. King’s untimely passing. In Letter from Birmingham Jail he wrote
“Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.” It is
the responsibility of this body to embrace diversity and condemn injustice; and
Whereas, Dr. King planted
the seed of equality. While it has bloomed over the years, it is our
responsibility to nurture it and ensure it thrives. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
has set the example for us, but it is up to us as a society to apply his
inclusive ideology and accept each other for who we are. We all know he had a
dream. Michiganders are encouraged to fulfill that dream and continue down the
path of equality and justice; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate in the
state of Michigan January 2019 as the 90th anniversary of the birth of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
