AI Summary
This joint resolution condemns the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, who was killed during a public speaking event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. The resolution strongly denounces his murder and emphasizes New Hampshire's commitment to protecting constitutional rights, particularly the First Amendment guarantees of free speech, assembly, and peaceful protest. The document highlights that Kirk was exercising his right to civic engagement when he was attacked, and it frames his assassination as a serious threat to democratic principles and civil discourse. The resolution calls on state residents to engage in respectful dialogue across political divides, reject violence as a means of resolving differences, and reaffirms the state's dedication to protecting the rights of all individuals to express their views peacefully, regardless of political affiliation or ideology. Additionally, the resolution instructs the house clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to Kirk's family, Turning Point USA leadership, and the legislative bodies of all 50 U.S. states.
