Resolutions Introduced

            Delegates Border, Ellem, Raines, D. Poling, Azinger, Hamilton, Espinosa, Cooper, R. Smith, Lynch and Sponaugle offered the following resolution, which was read by its title and referred to the Committee on Rules:

            H. C. R. 80 - “Requesting the Joint Committee on Health study the allocation of emergency room spending on oral health and ancillary costs; compare findings across West Virginia to the incidence of oral health problems in each hospital region; examine the feasibility of funding Smiles for Life programs in the Mid-Ohio Valley; and study the feasibility of creating legislation consistent with the committee’s findings; and propose legislation to achieve this goal.”

            Whereas, The Legislature recognizes the importance of oral health as a component of the overall health and well-being of our people. West Virginia has perennially finished at or near the bottom of rankings of oral health among the states. Many West Virginians face significant obstacles in obtaining dental and oral health resources due to poverty, lack of insurance coverage and other issues and obtain oral health care only in emergency settings; and

            Whereas, The Legislature seeks to address the need to examine how these citizens are obtaining oral health care and how problems in oral health availability may be more efficiently resolved; and

            Whereas, The Legislature believes that greater benefits could accrue to the public if we examine oral health issues to insure resources for oral health were and are allocated in the most optimal fashion; therefore, be it

            Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

            That the Joint Committee on Health is requested to study the allocation of emergency room spending on oral health and ancillary costs; consider compare findings across West Virginia to the incidence of oral health problems in each hospital region; examine the Smiles for Life program and its efficacy in reducing these problems in the Mid-Ohio Valley; examine the feasibility of funding Smiles for Life programs in the Mid-Ohio Valley; and consider such other information or documentation as the committee may request in order to achieve the goals of this resolution; and, be it

            Further Resolved, That the Committee report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2015, on its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it

            Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on Health.

            Delegates Moye, Eldridge, Perry, Walker, P. Smith, Lynch, Staggers, Young, Pino, Marshall and Ellem offered the following resolution, which was read by the Clerk as follows:

            H. C. R. 81 - “Expressing support of the West Virginia Legislature recognizing February 10, 1954, as the anniversary of the addition of the words, ‘under God’, to the United States Pledge of Allegiance.”

            Whereas, On February 10, 1954, Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan introduced a bill in the United States Congress to amend the Pledge of Allegiance by adding the words, “under God”, to the text of the pledge; and

            Whereas, February 10, 1954, was chosen as the date to introduce the bill by Senator Ferguson because it was to recognize the five-year anniversary of the imprisonment of Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty of Hungary, who was imprisoned and tortured by Communists for his sermons exposing the goal of Communism to eradicate all religion; and

            Whereas, Speeches were delivered in Congress by members of both political parties, honoring Cardinal Mindszenty and emphasizing the threat posed to America by Communism; and

            Whereas, Upon introduction of the bill, Senator Ferguson commented, “I believe this modification of the pledge is important because it highlights one of the real fundamental differences between the free world and the Communist world, namely, belief in God,” furthering that with, “Our nation is founded on a fundamental belief in God, and the first and most important reason for the existence of our Government is to protect the God-given rights of our citizens. Spiritual values are every bit as important to the defense and safety of our nation as are military and economic values”; and

            Whereas, The vote to add “under God” to the United States Pledge of Allegiance was a unanimous vote; and

            Whereas, On February 7, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower became convinced that adding the words, “under God”, to the United States Pledge of Allegiance would be the right thing to do after hearing Reverend George Docherty preach that the phrase, “nation under God” was first used in the Gettysburg Address were appropriate to be added to the United States Pledge of Allegiance because freedom “is defined by a fundamental belief in God”; and

            Whereas, The first time the United States Pledge of Allegiance was recited was on Flag Day, June 14, 1954; and

            Whereas, It is important to honor such a date which strengthens the ties of history that bind us to our Christian heritage; therefore, be it

            Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

            That the West Virginia Legislature hereby recognizes February 10, 1954, as the anniversary of the addition of the words, “under God”, to the United States Pledge of Allegiance; and, be it

            Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates forward a certified copy of this resolution to the member newspapers of the West Virginia Press Association.
