HR344: HR344 Georgia Black Republican Council; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it recognizes the members of the Georgia Black Republican Council, an auxiliary organization of the Georgia Republican Party, and wishes them continued success. The resolution's preamble discusses the significance of Black History Month, the contributions of Black Americans to the country's history, and the political principles of limited government, free enterprise, and individual responsibility. It then formally resolves that the House recognizes the Council's members and directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and the press.
