RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the second annual America Saves 
Week 2008 from February 24, 2008 through March 2, 2008. 
Whereas America Saves is a 7 year old social marketing cam-
paign in which over 1,000 local, State, and national orga-
nizations have motivated more than 100,000 people to 
enroll as ‘‘American Savers’’ by making a commitment to 
save for a goal of their choice and to develop a plan to 
achieve this goal; 
Whereas, with the national savings rate consistently hovering 
around 0 for the past 6 years, America Saves is the call 
to action that we must not spend all, but save some, of 
our incomes;

Whereas Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia is frequently misdiag-
nosed or undiagnosed by medical professionals; 
Whereas currently there is no cure for Glanzmann’s Throm-
basthenia; 
Whereas it is essential to educate the public on the symp-
toms, treatments, and constant efforts to cure Glanz-
mann’s Thrombasthenia to insure early diagnosis and 
treatment of the condition; 
Whereas Helen P. Smith established the Glanzmann’s

Whereas March 1 would be an appropriate day to establish 
a National Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia Awareness Day: 
Now, therefore, be it

Kansas City Saves, Milwaukee Saves, Miami Saves, Ten-
nessee Saves, Silicon Valley—South Bay Saves, Military

Whereas local activities are being organized in many cities 
and localities around the country that encourage individ-
uals to take action such as opening a savings account for 
emergencies, participating in work place retirement pro-
grams, or setting a goal such as homeownership and es-
tablishing a savings account dedicated for that purpose; 
Whereas America Saves has over 500 financial institutions, 
both banks and credit unions, providing no-fee or low-fee, 
low-opening-balance savings accounts that allow small

2008 to March 2, 2008, is being introduced as an annual 
event to focus all of us on the need and opportunities for 
financial action; and 
Whereas the issue of making saving automatic and habitual

savings rate and reducing consumer indebtedness in 
the United States through effective social marketing 
campaigns; 
(2) supports the goals and ideals of America
