e/d/s = entered during session

Rep. Kelly Breen, from the 38th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Saint Patrick wrote, ‘I am imperfect in many things, nevertheless I want my brethren and kinsfolk to know my nature so that they may be able to perceive my soul’s desire.’

The wonders we can achieve in this chamber if we can look past individual imperfections and recognize the good in all of us, and the good we wish to deliver to the people we serve.

Let us invite God, in all His forms and names, into our hearts and minds. With his guidance we can walk clear and true paths of service. We ask that God help us find the compassion, wisdom, and patience to recognize our individual soul’s desires to truly help one another and humankind.

It is with understanding, that love, wisdom, compassion and patience we can take action to keep our children, our loved ones, our families, our health care workers, first responders, and men and women in uniform safe, to help them be healthy and bring them happiness.

We plead with the Lord to find His way into the hearts and minds of the people of the Ukraine - to give them the strength to endure and comfort when all seems lost.

And we ask that the Lord grant us the grace to do as we are meant to - not just as legislators, but as parents, as spouses, as sons and daughters, as humans - to do all the good we can, as often as we can, wherever we can, for as many as we can, for as long as we can.

‘And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.’”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Tate, Morse and Thanedar offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 252.

A resolution to condemn the actions of illegitimate presidential electors and to encourage the attorneys general of Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wisconsin, along with the federal Department of Justice, to prosecute these fake electors for their misdeeds to the fullest extent of the law.

Whereas, Our country’s system of elections is sacred and must be adhered to by all parties, especially those in power, in the name of democracy and justice. Political campaigns and actors that seek to undermine unequivocal election results tear at the fabric of the founding principles of our nation; and

Whereas, Presidential electors for each state are determined when voters cast their ballot for President and Vice President. The slate of electors for the winning candidates of a state are appointed as that state’s electors under federal and state laws. These presidential electors then duly assemble in their respective state capitals to certify the winning candidates and send the certificates to Congress to count and declare the winners; and

Whereas, In a subversion of our laws and democratic process following the 2020 election, groups in Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wisconsin tied to the losing candidate, Donald Trump, purported to be presidential electors and submitted false certificates. This scheme is reported to be a concerted effort stemming from the Trump Campaign. Co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, Meshawn Maddock, was quoted at an event saying, “We fought to seat the electors...the Trump campaign asked us to do that...”; and

Whereas, The plot to arrange for fake presidential electors is a perversion of our government and values that is part and parcel of the continued falsehoods over the safe, secure, and legitimate 2020 election. The lies and disinformation that have served to foment violence and damage our democracy must stop and the perpetrators be brought to justice; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we condemn the actions of illegitimate presidential electors and encourage the attorneys general of Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wisconsin, along with the federal Department of Justice, to prosecute these fake electors for their misdeeds to the fullest extent of the law; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Attorney General, the Arizona Attorney General, the Georgia Attorney General, the Pennsylvania Attorney General, the Nevada Attorney General, the New Mexico Attorney General, the Wisconsin Attorney General, and the United States Attorney General.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

Rep. Frederick moved that House Committees be given leave to meet during the balance of today’s session.

The motion prevailed.
