A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
To encourage the Congress of the United States and the President of the United States to
take proactive measures to stand firmly against the totalitarian efforts of the world
Marxist/communist movement and to protect the citizens of our great state and this
nation from the leviathan and evil that is the Chinese Communist Party.
WHEREAS, the initial global Marxist/communist movement was directed by the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and had as its declared objective, world control;
and
WHEREAS, world hegemony was to be accomplished through aggression, force,
violence, and tactics that included fraud, espionage, sabotage, infiltration, subversion,
propaganda, terrorism, and treachery; and
WHEREAS, since the 1991 collapse of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, the
hegemonic and totalitarian nation-state of China has become the focal point for the spread
of dangerous and tyrannical Marxist, communist, and socialist influences around the globe
and has recently aligned with the Russian Federation to act in concert against the West and
the rest of the free world, and together they champion tenets of the former
Marxist/communist movement; and
WHEREAS, the direction and control of the world Marxist/communist movement
is now vested in and exercised by the People's Republic of China (PRC); and
WHEREAS, the PRC, subject to the dictatorial authority of the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP), is actively and surreptitiously furthering the purposes of the world
Marxist/communist movement; and
Page 1 of 4 HCR NO. 13 ENROLLED
WHEREAS, the CCP has established or caused the establishment of various action
organizations and "front" companies, which are entities that are not free and independent but
components of the PRC's apparatus and that are controlled and directed by and subject to the
discipline of the dictatorship in the CCP; and
WHEREAS, the CCP conducts predatory trade practices and is suspected of
facilitating the shipment of pirated and stolen goods and technologies, all of which harms
Louisiana and American businesses and workers; and
WHEREAS, the state of Louisiana, as a sovereign political entity under the
Constitution of the United States and as a functioning representative state government that
is responsible solely to the people of this state under the constitutions of this state and nation,
is a most probable and obvious target for those who seek by force, violence, subterfuge, and
other unlawful means to overthrow constitutional government, so Louisiana is in perpetual
danger of Marxist/communist espionage, infiltration, subversion and sabotage, which would
put at risk the state's economy, the international waterway that is the Mississippi River which
runs through Louisiana, and these actions will put at risk critical transshipment routes for oil,
gas, grain, coal, and chemicals that are all linchpins of the state and nation's economy; and
WHEREAS, Marxist/communist expansion and ultimately control of a country is
characterized by an absolute denial of the right of self-government and by the abolition of
those personal liberties which are cherished and held sacred in the state of Louisiana and in
the United States of America; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature of Louisiana highlights the deaths of over seventy
million Chinese citizens at the hands of its own state apparatus and dictators, the
enslavement and on-going efforts to exterminate the Uyghur people and install
Gulag-comparable oppression in the Xinjiang region, the maltreatment of minority citizens
including peoples of color, maltreatment of homosexuals, the lack of religious and press
freedoms, the persecution of people of faith, and draconian population control measures as
the heinous benchmarks of the CCP that must be illuminated as actions the United States and
Louisiana will not allow to endanger our great nation and state; and
WHEREAS, communist action organizations and front companies, as established and
utilized in the United States, act under control, direction, and discipline of the CCP and
Page 2 of 4 HCR NO. 13 ENROLLED
endeavor to carry out the objectives of the world Marxist/communist movement under the
guise of legitimate businesses and academic and political entities; and
WHEREAS, the world Marxist/communist movement, which, emanating from the
CCP and extending to all corners of the globe, aims to bring about the destabilization and
subjugation of legitimate and free governments by any available means, including force
when called for, and to set up totalitarian dictatorships that suppress liberty and eradicate
human rights; and
WHEREAS, those who unwittingly and/or sophomorically aid the advancement of
these aims of the world Marxist/communist movement and who participate in the subversive
work of the movement in effect aid in the growth, influence, and detrimental presence of this
cancer on liberty that extends from the CCP and are themselves victims of the world
Marxist/communist movement; and
WHEREAS, by insidious and ruthless tactics such as predatory economic actions,
infiltration of institutions of higher learning, sabotage, political party infiltration,
propaganda, and subversion, the agents of the world Marxist/communist movement are
attempting to lay the groundwork for the dissolution of the free society that is the United
States of America and the state of Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, by dangerous experiments, including the possible release of deadly
pathogens, and the testing and employment of balance-of-power changing weapons, the CCP
puts the health and stability of the entire earth at risk; and
WHEREAS, the world Marxist/communist movement is not a legitimate political
effort but is in fact a tyrannical criminal conspiracy with an end goal of the ruination of
western civilization and liberal democracy; and
WHEREAS, because the world Marxist/communist movement constitutes a clear and
present danger to the citizens of the state of Louisiana and is an unequivocal enemy of this
state and nation, the Congress of the United States and the president of the United States, in
order to protect the people of the country and state, to preserve the sovereignty of the state
under the Constitutions of the United States and the state of Louisiana, and to guarantee to
the state a republican form of government, should enact appropriate legislation recognizing
the existence of the Marxist/communist movement and preventing it from accomplishing its
purposes in the state of Louisiana and throughout these United States; and
Page 3 of 4 HCR NO. 13 ENROLLED
WHEREAS, the guarantees of sovereignty and freedom enjoyed by this state and its
citizens are certain to vanish if the United States and its constitution are minimized,
degraded, or destroyed by the Marxist/communist movement.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
encourage the Congress of the United States and the president of the United States to take
proactive measures to stand firmly against the totalitarian efforts of the world
Marxist/communist movement and to protect the citizens of our great state and this nation
from the leviathan and evil that is the Chinese Communist Party.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the
presiding officers of the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Congress of the
United States of America and to each member of the Louisiana congressional delegation.
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE
