EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE OF UKRAINE AND TAIWAN—CONDEMING ATTACKS AND THREATS
A Resolution expressing support for the people of Ukraine and Taiwan; condemning recent attacks and threats; and urging immediate removal of Russian troops.
WHEREAS, members of the Oklahoma House of Representatives are concerned with the recent foreign invasion of the country of Ukraine and imminent threats made against the country of Taiwan; and
WHEREAS, certain members of the Oklahoma House of Representatives have issued the following statement: “We must stand united with the people in the countries of Ukraine and Taiwan and show our support of their freedom and liberty and their right to exist. We condemn recent attacks and threats against their people and their independence. We know that if we stay silent while these countries are attacked and invaded, we face the possibility of continued aggression toward other nations and sovereign states and even a potential escalation toward world war. Many in our nation and others watched in horror as the Nazi regime began World War II in a very similar manner. Yet, our inaction and our desire to stay out of that war until the conflict killed our own citizens and reached our own borders, aided in the needless deaths of more than Six Million Jews in the Holocaust. We must not let similar actions take place today”; and
WHEREAS, the Oklahoma House of Representatives calls for an immediate removal of Russian troops from the country of Ukraine and protection for Taiwan and a restoration of peace and asks for prayer for all people and others involved in the latest conflict; and
WHEREAS, the Oklahoma House of Representatives calls for Oklahomans to refrain from buying Russian goods; and
WHEREAS, the Oklahoma House of Representatives calls on its congressional delegation and the President of the United States to take strong actions against Russia and any other aggressor against Ukraine, Taiwan or any other threatened country; and
WHEREAS, the Oklahoma House of Representatives supports the following proposition: “We stand today united in our support of Ukraine and its people and Taiwan and its people. We bless them, and we pray for peace in these nations”.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE 2ND SESSION OF THE 58TH OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE:
THAT the Oklahoma House of Representatives expresses its support for the country of Ukraine and the country of Taiwan during a time of adversity and hostile actions by a foreign power.
Adopted by the House of Representatives the 1st day of March, 2022.
