Bill > HR6036

This Resolution, originating from the Kansas House of Representatives, expresses strong support for the Judeo-Christian tradition and its open expression within the U.S. Military, citing over 200 years of historical precedent and the constitutional emphasis on religious freedom for all citizens, including service members. It acknowledges a perceived trend of increasing hostility towards religious expression in the military, particularly concerning the Judeo-Christian tradition, and asserts that the government has a fundamental duty to protect these rights. Consequently, the resolution calls upon Kansas's U.S. Legislators, the Adjutant General of Kansas, and civilian and military leaders to actively defend the rights of religious conscience and the free exercise of the Judeo-Christian tradition within the U.S. Military and the Kansas National Guard, and to support the professional chaplaincy, which provides religious services to service members. The resolution also directs the Chief Clerk to send copies of this resolution to relevant officials, including Kansas's U.S. Legislators, the Adjutant General, and the Secretary of Defense.
