No. 6
(House Joint Resolution 31)
A House Joint Resolution concerning
Discriminatory Boycotts
FOR the purpose of urging Congress to swiftly enact
legislation which would make discriminatory boycotts
unlawful.
WHEREAS, The citizens of the United States are or
may become subjected to discriminatory boycotts based
upon race, color, creed, religion, sex or national
origin; and
WHEREAS, The United States of America is founded
upon principles of political, social and economic
equality which by definition cannot co-exist such
discriminatory boycotts; and
WHEREAS, The Congress of the United States presently
has under consideration certain legislation which would
make discriminatory boycotts unlawful and would further
prohibit compliance with such boycotts by individuals
afforded freedom, and the protection of the Constitution
and laws of the United States; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND, That
the Congress of the United States is urged to swiftly
enact the antidiscrimination legislation under
consideration; and be it further
