PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senators. Senator Maloney, for an introduction.
Ladies and Gentlemen, if I could have your attention just for one moment for an introduction today. I've -- I've envied my colleagues here who, from time to time, come up and introduce State championship sports teams, but I have the privilege and honor today of introducing the National Champion Saint Xavier Cougars from Saint Xavier University that lies within the heart of my district. And in -- in December of this year, they won the National -- National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Football Championship. The game was played in Rome, Georgia. They defeated Carroll College of Montana, who had won the Championship seven -- seven different times. And I -- I've got to tell you, if you're a football fan, this team is really fun to watch. This is not a -- a -- a three -- three yards and 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 97th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day 2/8/2012 a cloud of dust team. They throw the ball all over the place and it's pretty exciting football. I also would like to introduce Coach Mike Feminis, who was also the NAI -- or, I'm sorry, the American Football Coaches Association Coach of the Year. And ninety percent of the players on this team are from the State of Illinois. So it's really everybody's champion. But they are the National Championship Champions and I'd like everyone to please give them a nice round of applause. I'd like -- please acknowledge Coach Feminis. He'd just like to say a few words.
(Remarks by Saint Xavier Coach Mike Feminis)
Thank you, everybody. Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) If I can have everyone's attention, I'd like to make an important announcement. I'd like to remind everyone that this Friday, February 10th, is the deadline for introduction of Senate bills. Again, if you have Senate bills to introduce, the deadline for filing those bills are this Friday. Thank you. Senator Righter, for what purpose do you seek recognition?
I rise on a point of personal privilege, if I might, Mr. President.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Please proceed.
Thank you. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Chamber, I have some special guests here today that are seated 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 97th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day 2/8/2012 in the Senate gallery right above my head. These folks are residents of Crawford County in southeastern Illinois. They are from Leadership Crawford County, which is on its eighth year of an initiative of bringing community leaders and community residents here to Springfield. They spend the entire day here, visiting with lawmakers, visiting with other people who are, like all of us, on the frontlines of making policy here in Springfield. I'd ask the Senate please give them a warm welcome here to the Illinois Senate. Thank you, Mr. President.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Will our guests in the gallery please rise? Welcome to the Senate. Senator Pankau, for what purpose do you seek recognition?
For a point of personal privilege, Mr. President.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Please proceed, Senator.
Earlier today, the Conference of Women Legislators held a press conference in the Rotunda. Today is Go Red For Women Day in the State Capitol; hence the reason why a lot of us are wearing red today. And thank you, gentlemen, for wearing your nice great red ties today, too. Thank you. At the press conference, we announced a program that the Conference of Women Legislators is going to participate in, but we would like to encourage our male friends to join us also. We have pedometers that we are going to be wearing, counting our steps in the State Capitol. And we're going to be joined by Pfizer, who is going to match for the Conference of Women Legislative {sic} 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 97th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day 2/8/2012 scholarship fund a dollar for every mile that we walk. So we would like to encourage -- I would like to encourage all of my fellow Senators to sign up, get your pedometer, and start counting your steps around the Capitol. Together, we can make some money for the scholarship fund at COWL. Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you very much, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 97th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day 2/8/2012 of the Senate. It gives me great pleasure today to introduce a visitor that we have here in Springfield. Jimmy Larson is here from the great city of Des Plaines in my district. Jimmy's in fifth grade. He's ten years old. He is -- he's a big fan of the White Sox and he roots for the Cardinals football team. I - - I don't know how that works. But he's -- look at how well dressed he is. He's looking very senatorial today. What Jimmy wants to do when he grows up is he wants to make fireworks for a living. So I think it's appropriate that he came down here today to see the fireworks that goes on here on a regular basis so he knows what to do and what not to do.

House Joint Resolution 58, by Senator Kotowski.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Kotowski.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Lech Walesa was the first democratically elected President of Poland after World War II. A Nobel Peace Prize winner, Walesa shepherded his country through the arduous return to a capitalistic economy and laid the foundation for its eventual admission to NATO and the United Nations. He is one of the four leaders generally credited with ending the Communist Eastern Bloc at the end of the Cold War, joining ranks with President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Walesa's story is truly a profile in courage. He started his adult life as a car mechanic and eventually became an electrician in the Gdansk shipyards. After he witnessed violent government crackdowns by Poland's -- Poland's Communist Party, he became a labor leader and an activist. He was fired for his anti-Communist leadership and forced to earn his living by working temporary jobs. He became Solidarity Chairman of the First National Solidarity Congress in 1981. He was later imprisoned for his democratic political beliefs. In 1990, he was elected President of the Republic of Poland, a position he held until 1995. He oversaw Poland's first completely free parliamentary elections in 1991, successfully negotiated the withdrawal of all Soviet troops from Polish soil and won a substantial reduction in Poland's 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 97th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day 2/8/2012 crippling foreign debts. His legacy as a warrior for democracy and capitalism has won him an important piece in Polish and world history. He has been recognized by organizations that advocate for freedom, for human rights and democracy all over the world. Tomorrow, Lech Walesa will receive the 2012 Lincoln Leadership Prize from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation in recognition of his lifetime of service to democracy and freedom, as well as his great strength of character, individual conscience, and his willingness to accept the responsibilities imposed on him by history and his own conscience - all qualities prized by Illinois' own President Abraham Lincoln. Please join me in proclaiming tomorrow, February 9th, 2012, Lech Walesa Day in the State of Illinois in honoring this extraordinary man.
