TO EXPRESS SINCERE SYMPATHY FOR THE PEOPLE OF HAITI IN THE DEVASTATION AND LOSS OF LIFE FROM THE RECENT CATASTROPHIC EARTHQUAKE THERE, AND TO SEEK ENCOURAGEMENT FROM ALL SOUTH CAROLINIANS TO ASSIST IN THE RESCUE AND REBUILDING OF THAT NATION.
Whereas, it was with profound grief that the members of the South Carolina General Assembly learned of the earthquake that struck the nation of Haiti on January 12, 2010; and
Whereas, the work to be done in Haiti to restore and rebuild this nation will demand strength and fortitude that has rarely been required of any people; and
Whereas, unprecedented help from nations around the globe is the least that compassionate people can offer; and
Whereas, knowing the character of the people of this great State, it is only to be anticipated that our citizens will answer the call in the form of monetary and physical assistance; and
Whereas, the General Assembly would call on the good will of the people and charitable organizations of South Carolina to offer whatever support possible to assist our neighbors in Haiti. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, express sincere sympathy for the people of Haiti in the devastation and loss of life from the recent catastrophic earthquake there, and seek encouragement from all South Carolinians to assist in the rescue and rebuilding of that nation.
