Posted by Kemberlee Kaye January 16, 2016 at 12:30pm By order of Presidential Proclamation Friday, President Obama issued a proclamation declaring today Religious Freedom Day. In 1992, a Joint Resolution from Congress requested then President George H.W. Bush to designate January 16 as Religious Freedom Day: “Be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That January 16, 1993, is designated as “Religious Freedom Day,” and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to join together to celebrate their religious freedom and to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.” According to an educational site devoted to Religious Freedom Day: http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/01/happy-religious-freedom-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
