None of the following should be in there anytime. #1 – House Resolution 31 (2009) – Expressing support for designation of January 28, 2009, as “National Data Privacy Day”. (I say outlaw IRS and NSA. Would be a better Idea.) #2 – House Resolution 134 (2009) – Recognizing the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s visit to India, and the positive influence that the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi had on Dr. King’s work during the Civil Rights Movement.
