"The hour of 11:00 having arrived, the House will be in order. The Members will please be in their seats. Members and guests are asked to refrain from starting their laptops, please turn off all cell phones, and pagers, and to rise for the invocation and for the Pledge of Allegiance. We shall be led in prayer today by Reverend David Coyle, who is the pastor of Averyville Baptist Church in East Peoria. Reverend Coyle is the guest of Representative Smith."
"Let us bow our heads for prayer. Our Father God, we start today with thanksgiving. We have a rich heritage in this country and Lord we believe that without Your help our nation wouldn't be the great nation that it is. We thank You, Lord, for Your blessings. We thank You for these distinguished men and women who've let their lives, Oh Lord, be set apart for public service. Lord, when I think about how Your life was when You lived upon this earth, You gave Yourself to public service and these folks are following in Your footsteps and Lord, I realize there's always a lot of sacrifice when we serve the public and we appreciate what they do here. Father, our hearts and minds are heavy today because of the tragedy in northern Illinois and Lord, we think of those families who are grieving this morning the loss of those young people whose lives were just really getting a good start and we pray for Your comfort and Your consolation to those families at this time. And then Father, we ask for Your wisdom and Your discernment for this group of folks who serve the thirteen million (13,000,000) people in this 09500224.doc 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 95th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 224th Legislative Day 2/15/2008 state. God, we think of the words of Solomon that, God, if we commit our works to You, You will establish our thoughts and so, Lord, we pray that You would give them wisdom and discernment in the decisions that they make. And Lord, we pray that You will bless them for their time here. God, we thank You and we praise You, in Jesus' name. Amen."
Speaker Hannig: "And we'll be led in prayer today by Representative Riley. I'm sorry, in the Pledge by Representative Riley."
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
"Okay. Amen. Representative Riley looks like he was ready to lead us in the prayer, as well. Repre… Okay. So, Mr. Clerk, let's have the Roll Call for Attendance. And Representative Currie for the excused absences."
"Thank you, Speaker. Please let the record reflect that Representatives Rich Bradley, Dunkin, Fritchey, Joyce, Molaro, Osterman, Patterson, Scully, Soto, and Turner are excused today.

Speaker Hannig: "So, Mr. Clerk, take… the Clerk take the record. There are 97 Members answering the Roll Call, a quorum is present. So, I'd ask for the Members' attention. We're going to recognize Representative Fortner for a moment of silence for the tragedies that occurred yesterday. Representative Fortner, would you like to say a few things and then we'll have a moment of silence."
"Thank you, for Mr. Speaker. A year ago we saw the tragic events at the University at Virginia Tech and we were shocked by that tragedy. But it hit so much closer to home when we see it here in one of our own state universities, for which we are so proud. As many of you know, and perhaps all of you know, I've been an employee at NIU for the last twenty (20) years and so this hits me particularly hard. I've walked many, many times past Cole Hall, though I've not actually taught in that particular classroom, I'm very familiar with the arrangement there. I can imagine the fear and the horror if I were giving that lecture and someone broke in with that kind of death and destruction in mind. So at this time, I think we need to do all we can to make sure that the victims' families, the students, the faculty and staff, the whole NIU community is in our thoughts and prayers. And that we do what we can to bring that fine state institution back on its feet, get classes moving in a way, get students able to learn again, which is the mission of our university there. And particularly, I want to extend my sympathies to the families of those students who were killed: Daniel Parmenter, Catalina Garcia, Ryanne Mace, Julianna Gehant, 09500224.doc 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 95th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 224th Legislative Day 2/15/2008 and Gayle Dubowski and of course, to all the other victims who are still suffering injuries, both physical and mental, from yesterday's tragic occurrence. At this time, I'd like you… ask you, to join me in a moment of silence. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."

"Point of personal privilege, Mr. Speaker."
"Point of personal privilege. Proceed."
"I was sort of taken aback earlier when you wanted me to give the prayer, but I could have done that. But I am going to talk about someone who is in …who regularly did that. The first thing I want to mention, I want to recognize the… the Park Forest Public Library that bestowed upon me a… an award called the Neighborhood Hero award. I'm not a hero. I just did the things that come naturally for me to do in serving my constituents. But the Kente cloth stole that I'm wearing today is emblematic of that award, so I want to be that everyone knows that the Park Forest Library did present this to me and they're a great institution. A point about the Black History today. I want to talk about the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King. Now, there's a train of political thought about not being 09500224.doc 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 95th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 224th Legislative Day 2/15/2008 able to run away from one's destiny and I think that courage, sacrifice, and commitment really becomes a person's guiding light as that destiny became manifest and all of us know a lot about Dr. King, one of America's greatest citizens, world class theologian, and one of world history's most influential figures, influencing people in social action of movements worldwide. Now, everybody in this chamber knows that Dr. King led the Montgomery Bus Boycott, he was the head of SCLC, he had the famous March on Washington with the 'I Have a Dream' speech. He had the great 'Letter from Birmingham Jail'. Of course, it was Bloody Sunday and the Edmund Pettus Bridge incident, his moral opposition to the Vietnam War, the Poor Peoples' Campaign. He was the youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize. He led the Memphis Sanitation Worker Strike, and of course, he was assassinated in 1968. But what some are apt to forget is Dr. King's Illinois's connection. In spring of 1966, Dr. King came to Chicago to enact his northern strategy where he focused on fair housing and the SC… SCLC (sic- Southern Christian Leadership Conference) wanted him to meet with a coalition of Chicago civil rights groups which was called the CCCO (sic- Council of Community Organizations), which was headed by Al Raby and I met Dr. King that year. He had an apartment on 16th and Drake, and what a lot of people don't know is, there was an occasion it was called Freedom Sunday, in June of 1966, where he spoke at Soldier Field in front of about fifty thousand (50,000) people. Now the 'I Have a Dream' speech was only about 7 minutes. Okay. But Freedom Sunday was his event 09500224.doc 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 95th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 224th Legislative Day 2/15/2008 and it lasted for about two and a half hours, and there he talked about the scourge of discrimination in this country and the redeeming nature of reaching common ground or rapprochement between opposing groups. He also had a statement that he made frequently which was, 'we should find a way to live together as bothers and sisters, or die apart as fools.' Now, when he talked about dying, he talked about dying symbolically. But you know, I wonder if all of us here in this Body and all of us over the state say to ourselves what are we willing to symbolically die for, what are we willing to sacrifice, to give up, maybe take a particular point of view that… you know, might be the path less traveled and I think that that's really what he was talking about. What on a daily basis are we willing to do to advance the cause of togetherness in this world that may not necessarily be popular? So, let's ask ourselves that question on a daily basis. I think that that adage about living together as bothers and sisters or dying apart as fools, we may take a page from Dr. King's notebook in how we deal with our business down here in the state, in the General Assembly and amongst all the levels of government. Thank you so much."
"On page 3 of the Calendar, there are a couple of Bills on Second Reading that we could move to Third today if the Sponsor so wishes. The first is House Bill 4407. Representative Coulson, do you wish to move that to Third, from Second to Third? Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."
