MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION # 95200
BY: Dennis N. Powers, District #10
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT "PROJECT FOUNDING FATHERS"
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Project Founding Fathers is a non-profit organization based in
Highland, Michigan, whose goal is to place a framed print of the signing of
the United States Constitution, accompanied by a plaque setting forth the
Bill of Rights, in all 3,548 public schools in the state of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the purpose of this effort is to remind students of the grievous
cost of liberty and freedom and the enormous sacrifices suffered by a great
people in extricating themselves from the bonds of tyranny imposed by an
excessive, oppressive government, and establishing in its stead a system of
government that was responsive to its citizens; a government of the people,
by the people and for the people; and
WHEREAS it is the sincere hope of Project Founding Fathers that students
will be renewed with the passion that our liberties and freedoms, especially
the right to vote, must continue to be vigorously embraced in order to
preserve the legacy of our Founding Fathers for future generations of
Americans; and
WHEREAS Project Founding Fathers has been received enthusiastically by
the Superintendent of Public Instruction and is supported by citizens
throughout the state of Michigan, many local school superintendents,
principals, elected officials, and representatives of the business community;
and
WHEREAS all costs associated with this endeavor will be raised entirely
through private donations.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby declares its support for Project Founding Fathers in its
efforts to provide each public school in Michigan with a framed print of the
signing of the United States Constitution and a plaque containing the Bill of
Rights.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be submitted to
the Michigan Legislature, the Governor and the State Board of Education,
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
