I urge all Texans to answer the call to serve those in need. By volunteering their time, energy or resources to helping others, adults and youngsters follow Christ's message of love and service in thought and deed.
Therefore, I, George W. Bush, Governor of Texas, do hereby proclaim June 10, 2000, Jesus Day in Texas and urge the appropriate recognition whereof,
In official recognition whereof,
I hereby affix my signature this
17th day of April, 2000.

What about it? Presidents and governers are always making up special days that people don't pay attention to. So what if a governor decides to proclaim a day to celebrate an historical figure whether or not it may also be a religious figure? |
