TO DECLARE MARCH 15, 2000, AS "SOUTH CAROLINA HOMEOWNERSHIP DAY".

Whereas, a healthy, happy society must fulfill the desires and aspirations of the majority of its members while protecting the rights of each of its individual entities; and

Whereas, we all desire to live in communities where the wonders of the Creator are molded and preserved, and where the prosperity of the members of the society, as well as the animals and plant-life indigenous to the environment, is protected and nurtured; and

Whereas, our society has been established, maintained, and has prospered based on a recognition of the rights of each individual member - many of the most important of these rights having been codified in our nation's Bill of Rights; and

Whereas, our forefathers found it prudent and wise to ensure the protection of an individual's property rights by so establishing these rights in both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of our United States Constitution; and

Whereas, homeownership provides a sense of security for South Carolina families and their children, and results in a better education and quality of life for our children; and

Whereas, the purchase of a home for most South Carolinians is the single largest investment they will ever make; and

Whereas, all families in South Carolina regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin should have the opportunity to pursue the American dream of homeownership; and

Whereas, housing affordability and choices should be market-driven, based on the principles of free enterprise so the American dream of homeownership can be protected and preserved for future generations of South Carolinians. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That March 15, 2000, is declared "South Carolina Homeownership Day".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Donna Smith, 2000 President of the South Carolina Association of Realtors.
