Whereas, a Great State is only as great as those persons who enjoy life, liberty and freedom, whether through their participation in our state's diverse cultural groups, through maintaining high ethical standards in their profession, or simply through the constant endeavor to be a good corporate citizen; and

Whereas, such liberty, which is truly the lifeblood of the community and the state, so often goes unrecognized and unrewarded; now therefore be it

Resolved, that as a duly elected member of the State Assembly of New York, I recognize

As a celebration of truth, compassion and tolerance in this Community and the great State of New York.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my Hand and Signature
