A Golden Rule State

The State of Arizona passed the following concurrent resolution encouraging the citizens of Arizona to live the golden rule in 2003.

Whereas, the citizens of Arizona recognize and appreciate the wonderful diversity of peoples, cultures, faiths and languages that make up our state; and

Whereas, the Golden Rule proclaims that we should treat others the way we would like to be treated; and

Whereas, variations of the Golden Rule are embraced by every belief system; and

Whereas, through application of the Golden Rule we may be able to reduce, and even eliminate prejudice, hate, bigotry and racial intolerance; and

Whereas, the schools, community organizations, leaders, parents and children of this state would benefit by recognizing, teaching and practicing the Golden Rule as a tool for kindness and civility; and

Whereas, living and practicing the Golden Rule will have a powerfully positive effect on each individual and the society in which we all live.

Therefore be it resolved by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:

1. That the members of the Forty-sixth Legislature of the State of Arizona encourage the people of this state to live the Golden Rule and treat others the way they would like to be treated.

2. That the Secretary of State transmit copies of this Resolution to the Governor, the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate and the Arizona news media.
