In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
March 7, 2019. 
Whereas the first amendment to the Constitution established

ciples of tolerance and religious freedom, and the 14th 
amendment to the Constitution established equal protec-
tion of the laws as the heart of justice in the United 
States; 
Whereas adherence to these principles is vital to the progress 
of the American people and the diverse communities and 
religious groups of the United States;

otry, discrimination, oppression, racism, and imputations 
of dual loyalty threaten American democracy and have no 
place in American political discourse; 
Whereas white supremacists in the United States have ex-
ploited and continue to exploit bigotry and weaponize 
hate for political gain, targeting traditionally persecuted
