                               RESOLUTION


 
Recognizing the life and legacy of Richard (Dick) Gregory and honoring 
 his contributions to the civil rights movement and to American comedy.

Whereas Dick Gregory was born on October 12, 1932, in St. Louis, Missouri, and 
        passed away on August 19, 2017, in the District of Columbia at the age 
        of 84;
Whereas Dick Gregory was an early civil rights pioneer, participating in sit-ins 
        and getting arrested numerous times throughout the South for the defeat 
        of segregation and for equal rights;
Whereas Dick Gregory was a passionate champion for voting rights and home rule 
        for the residents of the District of Columbia and in the 1960s was in 
        the forefront of the struggle that culminated in home rule for the 
        District of Columbia;
Whereas Dick Gregory moved to Chicago, Illinois, in 1956 to begin his comedy 
        career after having served in the United States Army;
Whereas in 1959, Dick Gregory married Lillian Smith, with whom he had 11 
        children;
Whereas besides civil rights, Dick Gregory was an activist in numerous causes 
        over the course of his life, including the Vietnam War, the Equal Rights 
        Amendment, police brutality, South African apartheid, nuclear power, 
        prison reform, feminism, drug abuse, and Native American rights;
Whereas Dick Gregory authored a dozen books; and
Whereas Dick Gregory became one of the first African-American comedians to enjoy 
        crossover appeal to Blacks and Whites alike, using his talent to point 
        up the absurdity of racism and discrimination: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors the life and 
legacy of Richard (Dick) Gregory and acknowledges his contributions to 
civil rights, to multiple other causes for freedom and equality, and to 
American comedy.

 Recognizing the significance of the hundredth anniversary of the soda 
                               Cheerwine.

Whereas Cheerwine was founded in Salisbury, North Carolina, in 1917 by Lewis D. 
        Peeler;
Whereas Cheerwine is a family-owned and -operated business and the oldest 
        family-owned soft drink company in the United States;
Whereas Cheerwine was the first bottled cherry-flavored soda in the United 
        States;
Whereas Clifford Peeler took over the company in 1931 and helped guide the 
        company through the Great Depression;
Whereas Cheerwine was enjoyed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953;
Whereas in the 1970s, Cliff and Mark Ritchie joined the family business and 
        expanded Cheerwine's presence;
Whereas in 1992, Mark Ritchie took over the company, and Cheerwine was enjoyed 
        by a second President, George H. W. Bush, in Salisbury, North Carolina; 
        and
Whereas this family-owned and -operated institution, now run by L.D. Peeler's 
        great-grandson, Cliff Ritchie, celebrates its hundredth birthday in 
        2017: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the significance of the hundredth 
        anniversary of the soda Cheerwine and acknowledges its 
        contribution to North Carolina's vibrant food culture and 
        unique local character;
            (2) recognizes that Cheerwine is an important part of North 
        Carolina's heritage and culture; and
            (3) recognizes that family businesses such as Cheerwine 
        provide good-paying jobs and are the building blocks of the 
        United States economy.

                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that congressional 
  redistricting should be reformed to remove political gerrymandering.

Whereas political gerrymandering occurs when politicians draw their own 
        congressional district lines to protect their self-interest at the 
        expense of creating districts that reflect communities of interest;
Whereas political gerrymandering can result in decreased electoral competition 
        between congressional candidates, and in turn decreased responsiveness 
        by Members of Congress to their voters' interests;
Whereas political gerrymandering can be used to split or pack certain 
        demographic and political groups into congressional districts in order 
        to disproportionately diminish their representation in Congress;
Whereas political gerrymandering can be used to protect the majority party and 
        punish the minority party;
Whereas political gerrymandering can decrease Americans' faith and trust in 
        congressional elections;
Whereas political gerrymandering is generally harmful to our democracy;
Whereas many States have taken great strides to ameliorate political 
        gerrymandering, ranging from Hawaii and California to Arizona and Ohio;
Whereas the United States Constitution provides the authority for Congress to 
        regulate elections and redistricting; and
Whereas the Supreme Court has affirmed Congress' authority provided in the 
        United States Constitution to regulate elections and redistricting: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
congressional redistricting should be reformed to remove political 
gerrymandering.

                               RESOLUTION


 
         Supporting the goals and ideals of National Poppy Day.

Whereas Poppies are worn and displayed as a symbolic tribute to fallen and 
        future veterans and members of the Armed Forces;
Whereas the use of the poppy symbolically comes from the poem ``In Flanders 
        Fields'', which movingly begins, ``In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, 
        between the crosses, row on row'', referring to the poppies that sprang 
        up in the churned-up earth of newly dug soldiers' graves in parts of 
        Belgium and France following World War I;
Whereas at the end of World War I, the American Legion adopted the poppy as a 
        symbol of freedom and the blood sacrificed by members of the Armed 
        Forces in war;
Whereas the American Legion has long utilized the red poppy as its official 
        flower, symbolizing the blood shed by those who have served in the 
        United States Armed Forces;
Whereas the poppy is worn in England and Canada on Remembrance Day, also known 
        as Armistice Day and Poppy Day, to commemorate members of the armed 
        forces who have died in the line of duty;
Whereas as the United States commemorates the 100th anniversary of its entrance 
        into World War I and the American Legion approaches its 100th 
        anniversary, it is fitting to expand the meaning the poppy and formally 
        recognize its historic symbolism;
Whereas wearing a poppy can unite citizens from across the country who wish to 
        show their patriotism and appreciation for those who serve as members of 
        the United States Armed Forces; and
Whereas the Friday before each Memorial Day is an appropriate day to recognize 
        as ``National Poppy Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Poppy Day; 
        and
            (2) encourages all citizens, residents, and visitors of the 
        United States to join in observing National Poppy Day to honor 
        every member of the Armed Forces who has died in the name of 
        liberty, freedom, and democracy while also showing their 
        support for living veterans, members of the Armed Forces, and 
        their families.

 of India should be a permanent member of the United Nations Security 
                                Council.

Whereas India has been elected seven times as a non-permanent member of the

        Nations General Assembly elected India to be the Asian representative to

Whereas there are approximately 293,000 victims of sexual assault every year;

        disorder, 13 times more likely to abuse alcohol, 26 times more likely to 
        abuse drugs, and 4 times more likely to contemplate suicide; and
Whereas victim interaction with their offender can cause further emotional
