Second Regular Session, 91st General Assembly
SEVENTH DAY, Monday, January 21, 2002
Speaker Kreider in the Chair.
Prayer by Father David Buescher.
Deep within the source of our common human heritage, God, You have somehow planted this idea of the inherent dignity of every human person. Your son, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., lived and died for the truth of that noble idea, turning it into an ideal. Our state's constitution highlights that dignity.
Today, God, be with and re-inspire the men and women in this great Chamber with that goal's fire as they begin this week of leadership. In Martin's memory, Almighty Father, we begin this session. Thank You for giving him to our nation and to our world. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
