Yesterday the House voted on a bill honoring the memory of the Americans who died in the September 11th attacks. Well, almost all of the House did.

Resolved, That the House of Representatives–

(1) extends again its deepest sympathies to the thousands of innocent victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, their families, friends, and loved ones;

(2) honors the heroic actions and the sacrifices of United States military and civilian personnel and their families who have sacrificed much, including their lives and health, in defense of their country in the Global War on Terrorism;

(3) honors the heroic actions of first responders, law enforcement personnel, State and local officials, volunteers, and others who aided the innocent victims and, in so doing, bravely risked their own lives and long-term health;

(4) expresses thanks and gratitude to the foreign leaders and citizens of all nations who have assisted and continue to stand in solidarity with the United States against terrorism in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks;

(5) discourages, in the strongest possible terms, any effort to confuse the Global War on Terrorism with a war on any people or any faith;

(6) reaffirms its commitment to the Global War on Terrorism and to providing the United States Armed Forces with the resources and support to wage it effectively and safely;

(7) vows that it will continue to take whatever actions necessary to identify, intercept, and disrupt terrorists and their activities; and

(8) reaffirms that the American people will never forget the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001, and will never bow to terrorist demands.

In an overwhelming vote of 402 to 6, the following representatives decided to vote their conscience. And I appreciate them letting us know where they stand:

John “The Chairman” Conyers (MI)
Barbara “I Love Fidel” Lee (CA)
Fortney “You’re a Fruitcake and a Cocksucker” Stark (CA)
Jim “Baghdad” McDermott (WA)
Cynthia “The Jooos” McKinney (GA)
Lynn “Jane Walker Lindh” Woolsey (CA)
