Resolutions memorializing the Massachusetts Delegation, and the United States Congress, on the
need for general support of NATO, and public education regarding this subject matter.
1 the Great and General Court of Massachusetts, hereby Resolves that we generally
2support, the long-established membership of The United States, as a member state, of NATO, the
3North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Since its founding in 1949, it has grown, helped to secure
4the peace of the North Atlantic, and much of Europe, and expanded freedom across many
5countries.
6 Many of our NATO allies, have fought together with us, in recent, and ongoing conflicts,
7and have provided significant assistance to us, in our ongoing war against terrorism.
8 It is in the interests of keeping peace, and expanding freedom, that The United States
9remain active, and supportive of NATO, and Massachusetts wishes to go on record, as
10supporting those efforts. 2 of 2
11 Massachusetts as a leader, in The United States, and The United States as a leader in The
12North Atlantic Community, would benefit, by both strong support, and significant public
13education, on the values, and benefits of this membership, and its role in our lives.
