H. Res. 418 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
September 25, 2018. 
Whereas Paul Bunyan is a larger-than-life folk hero who em-
bodies the frontier spirit, might, the willingness to work 
hard, and the resolve to overcome all obstacles; 
Whereas reliable documentation establishes that the earliest 
story about Paul Bunyan was told north of Tomahawk, 
Wisconsin; 
Whereas this evidence suggests that Wisconsin’s claim that it 
is the birthplace of Paul Bunyan is superior to claims 
from other States; 
Whereas Paul Bunyan has been the subject of countless lit-
erary compositions, musical pieces, commercial works, 
and theatrical productions; 
Whereas local legend states that the ‘‘ribs’’ in Rib Mountain, 
Wisconsin, denote that the mountain is the burial site of 
Paul Bunyan; 
Whereas Rib Mountain is nearly 4 miles long and peaks at 
1,924 feet above sea level and 670 feet above the local 
terrain, making it the highest natural feature in North 
Central Wisconsin and one of the highest points in the 
entire State of Wisconsin;
•HRES 418 EH 
Whereas Rib Mountain is home to the Granite Peak Ski 
Area, one of the first ski areas in North America, where 
thousands of visitors come annually to ski or snowboard; 
Whereas Rib Mountain State Park, situated on Rib Moun-
tain, is over 1,500 acres and boasts a well-maintained 
network of hiking and nature trails with breathtaking 
views; and 
Whereas Rib Mountain State Park attracts visitors from the 
local community as well as from across the State and the 
country: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives requests 
that the Secretary of the Interior recognize the legendary 
burial site of Paul Bunyan by adding Rib Mountain to the

RESOLUTION 
Protecting Religious Freedom in America. 
Whereas it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
Federal, State, and local governments should not infringe 
on the ability of citizens to act in accordance with their 
religious beliefs; 
Whereas the United States was founded on the principles of 
freedom and democracy, and as Benjamin Franklin stat-
ed in the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1737 ‘‘Freedom of 
speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when 
this support is taken away, the constitution of a free soci-
ety is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins.’’; 
Whereas freedom from religious persecution motivated many 
to flee Europe and make a new life in America and ap-
proximately 20,000 Puritans left England and settled in

America in search of the liberty to worship God according 
to their beliefs; 
Whereas the Declaration of Independence affirms the sov-
ereignty of God ‘‘. . . they are endowed by their Creator 
with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are 
Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness . . .’’; 
Whereas the right to freedom of speech was codified in the 
First Amendment to the Bill of Rights, which states 
‘‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment 
of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or 
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the 
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition 
the government for a redress of grievances.’’; 
Whereas the freedom of religion is not simply a blessing, but 
also a right and as our first President George Wash-
ington said, ‘‘The liberty enjoyed by the people of these 
states of worshiping Almighty God agreeably to their con-
science, is not only among the choicest of their blessings, 
but also of their rights.’’; 
Whereas George Washington also said, ‘‘Let us with caution 
indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained 
without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to 
expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of 
religious principle.’’; 
Whereas the right to freedom of speech applies to speech 
based on religious beliefs, and as Thomas Jefferson stat-
ed ‘‘That the opinions of men are not the object of civil 
government, not under its jurisdiction; that to suffer the 
civil magistrate to intrude his powers into the field of 
opinion and to restrain the profession or propagation of 
principles on supposition of their ill tendency is a dan-

Whereas the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, 
which protects the right to practice religion, is applied to 
the States through the 14th Amendment and as stated 
by the Supreme Court: ‘‘Freedom of conscience and free-
dom to adhere to such religious organization or form of 
worship as the individual may choose cannot be restricted 
by law.’’ Cantwell v. Connecticut, 310 U.S. 296 (1940); 
Whereas the Government may not determine which moral or 
religious beliefs are acceptable and ‘‘Religious beliefs 
need not be acceptable, logical, consistent, or comprehen-
sible to others in order to merit First Amendment protec-
tion.’’ Thomas v. Review Bd. of Indiana Employment Se-
curity Div., 450 U.S. 707, 714 (1981); 
Whereas at the founding of our Nation, it was known even 
then that ‘‘nothing is more dreaded than the national 
government meddling with religion.’’ (John Adams); 
Whereas American citizens must be confident that their 
speech is protected even if others disagree with what they 
say and as Justice John Marshall Harlan II wrote in 
Cohen v. California ‘‘But, above all else, the First 
Amendment means that government has no power to re-
strict expression because of its message, its ideas, its sub-
ject matter, or its content.’’; 
Whereas protection of religious liberty remains undeniably 
intertwined with the freedoms inherent in democracy, and 
as Ronald Reagan stated ‘‘To those who cite the first 
amendment as reason for excluding God from more and 
more of our institutions and everyday life, may I just say:
