HOUSE RESOLUTION No. 1

A House resolution condemning violence and violent rhetoric directed at our United States Capitol and state capitols, and affirming support for democracy, rule of law, and the certified results of Minnesota's election and the elections of the other states.

Whereas, on January 6, 2021, an armed mob breached the United States Capitol, endangering the safety of Members of Congress, law enforcement, and staff; and

Whereas, the mob damaged property in the United States Capitol and forced Members of Congress to evacuate, many wearing gas masks; and

Whereas, Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick was killed; and

Whereas, members of the mob breached and attempted to breach the chambers of the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, minutes after Members of Congress evacuated; and

Whereas, pursuant to the 12th Amendment to the United States Constitution, the United States Congress was gathering in joint session to certify the Electoral College results; and

Whereas, the Electoral College has cast 306 electoral votes for Joe Biden to 232 electoral votes for President Donald Trump; and

Whereas, the electoral ballots had to be physically carried out of the chamber to prevent them from being damaged by the mob; and

Whereas, Minnesota's electoral votes had not yet been certified when Congress was forced to flee; and

Whereas, public officials around the nation have made troubling statements that led to Americans questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election; and

Whereas, efforts to thwart the will of Minnesota voters are undemocratic; and

Whereas, attempts to block certification of Minnesota's election results have been rejected by the courts; and

Whereas, precautionary measures were required for the Minnesota State Capitol, including mobilizing law enforcement; Now, Therefore,

Journal of the House - 7th Day - Monday, January 25, 2021 - Top of Page 202

Be It Resolved, by the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota that it unequivocally condemns violence directed at the United States Capitol and at state capitols.

Be It Further Resolved, that those who participated in the criminal destruction of property and assaults on our law enforcement officials at the United States Capitol should be arrested and prosecuted.

Be It Further Resolved, that the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota stands behind the will of Minnesota voters and supports the full certification of its electoral college votes by the United States Congress.

Be It Further Resolved, that the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota condemns attacks on our democracy.

Be It Further Resolved, that the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota reaffirms our commitment to democracy, free and fair elections, and the rule of law.

Long moved that House Resolution No. 1 be now adopted.

Drazkowski moved to amend House Resolution No. 1, the first engrossment, as follows:

Page 1, delete lines 5 to 23 and insert:

"Whereas, we, the members of the Minnesota House of Representatives, unequivocally condemn the violence that happened at the United States Capitol in Washington DC on January 6. We urge a thorough investigation and that the perpetrators be arrested, tried, and punished under all applicable laws; and

Whereas, we also condemn the violent incursion into the Congressional chambers to prevent the certification of the electoral college and the presidential election; and

Whereas, we resolve to unify the divisiveness across the state and country; and

Whereas, we resolve to heal the political divide within the state of Minnesota and work towards a brighter and better future for all Minnesotans of all backgrounds, races, and countries of origin; and

Whereas, we denounce all discrimination and recognize that the path to a better Minnesota is founded in tolerance of not only the physical appearance of others but the differing of opinions and approaches on fixing challenging problems ahead of us; and

Whereas, we condemn the burning down of private businesses in May of 2020 in Minneapolis that had a disparate impact on minority-owned small business owners struggling to survive Governor Walz's economic lockdown; and

Whereas, we condemn the violent rhetoric in front of a police officer's home in Hugo, Minnesota last summer and the beating of an effigy of a police officer's wife in front of children; and

Whereas, our election laws were subverted by the action of the courts in direct contradiction of our constitution and our statutes, and we resolve to ensure election security and integrity so that our laws are respected and citizens' rights upheld; and

Journal of the House - 7th Day - Monday, January 25, 2021 - Top of Page 203

Whereas, in our struggle for independence, the ordinary citizen's ability to speak freely to air grievances against the current Government was the impetus for support among the people; and

Whereas, we regard as dark and mistaken times in our Republic, the many occasions the courts have jailed members of the media for speech unflattering to the Government and imprisoned citizens due to race or creed without trial; Now, Therefore,

Be It Resolved, that the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota condemns any action that interferes with anyone's ability to speak against their Government and condemns any attempt to use violence as a political weapon."
