RESOLUTION 04:14:03 - 9 RE: In Support of Our President and Troops Councilman Werner Stiegler offers the following and moves its adoption:

WHEREAS, twelve years ago the world recognized that the regime of Saddam Hussein, and its possession and manufacture of weapons of mass destruction, constitute clear and present danger to the safety and well being of its citizens; and

WHEREAS, for twelve years the world, through the United Nations, has sought to disarm and divest that regime of its weapons of mass destruction through diplomatic means; and

WHEREAS, diplomatic effort has recently concluded without success because the United Nations Security Council has prevented the world diplomatic effort with a credible threat of force; and

WHEREAS, the United States, Great Britain, and a coalition of over forty other nations, although recognizing that diplomatic resolution is preferable to the horror and uncertainty of armed conflict, have determined that the clear and present danger by the continued existence of the Saddam Hussein Regime must not continue in absence of potential and meaningful diplomatic resolution; and

WHEREAS, as a consequence of the foregoing, the United States, Great Britain, and their allies are presently engaged in an application of military force to remove that clear and present danger, and placed the lives of American men and women at risk; now therefore, the Town Board of the Town of Beekman does hereby

RESOLVE as follows:

1. We urge every American to join this board in supporting our President, all American and allied troops in harms way, and the aim of the military exercise in which they are presently engaged.

2. We urge New York State and every government subdivision thereof, to open every meeting convened for the purpose of conducting public business with a minute of silence in support of this armed effort and in memory of those who have died in the attacks on the American embassy in Kenya, the USS Cole, the World Trade Center, heroes of the United Airlines Flight #93 which crashed in Shanksville Pennsylvania, the Pentagon, the Capitol, those who will sacrifice in the days to come and their families, in an effort to prevent terrorist attacks from ever occurring again.

And we further RESOLVE to demonstrate and support the steel of all American patriots in solidarity of purpose signed this dated:

Monday, April 14, 2003
