On Wednesday Feb. 19th both chambers of the Kentucky General Assembly passed versions of the Resolution to Support our Troops that was previously passed by the Louisville Metro Council. In the House, it was submitted as HR79 by State Representative Steve Nunn (R-Glasgow). In the Senate, State Senator Dan Seum (R-Louisville) introduced the Resolution and nearly every Senator stood to request to be added as co-sponsors before the vote was taken! In both chambers the voice vote to approve the Resolution was overwhelming.
I'd like to thank FReeper fivetoes out in Colorado who took this Resolution and organized a campaign on his website to spread this to other parts of the country. Please see his post at: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/833754/posts "Resolution to Support our Troops-Add Your City."
And here's the link that started this effort: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/829728/posts "A city council finally gets it right! Louisville, KY Metro Council votes to support our Troops."
I appologize if the HTML links don't show up properly, just cut and paste. I encourage all FReepers to take this measure to your local city council and your state legislature.
