Heavenly Father, we gather here today in the magic of this chamber—in the majesty of this building—committed to doing our best to honor You in fulfilling the duties entrusted to us through the privilege of serving in the Senate of the great state of Michigan.

We revere and honor Your name, Yahweh. We call upon Your will to be done through our work and our lives as it is in heaven. We rely upon You for what we truly need. We ask forgiveness for our trespasses and offenses while doing our humanly best to forgive those who do so to us.

Guide our thoughts and our words; guard our hearts from the evil and temptations of this world, for this is Your state, Your country, and Your world.

“May this day be a blessing to You, Lord. May this day be a blessing to You. Guide our thoughts and our words, guard our hearts of this world. May this day be a blessing; may our lives be a blessing; may our work be a blessing to You.”

Resolutions

 

 

Senator Santana offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 100.

A resolution to recognize February 2020 as American Heart Month and February 19, 2020, as “Go Red for Women Day”.

Whereas, Cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer of women in the United States; and

Whereas, About 80 percent of cardiovascular diseases may be preventable; and

Whereas, Some risk factors such as blood pressure, smoking, cholesterol, and lack of regular physical activity can be controlled; and

Whereas, The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women® movement motivates women to learn about their family history and to meet with a healthcare provider to determine their risk for cardiovascular diseases and stroke; and

Whereas, “Go Red for Women” encourages women to take control of their heart health by understanding five life-changing numbers:

·     1. Total Cholesterol;

·     2. HDL (good) Cholesterol;

·     3. Blood Pressure;

·     4. Blood Sugar;

·     5. Body Mass Index (BMI); and

Whereas, The American Heart Association celebrates February 2020 as American Heart Month by promoting education, awareness, and encouraging citizens to learn the warning signs of a heart attack and stroke; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we recognize February 2020 as American Heart Month and February 19, 2020, as “Go Red for Women Day”; and be it further

Resolved, That we also recognize the importance of the ongoing fight against heart disease and stroke and urge all citizens to support women and the fight against heart disease by wearing the color red; and be it further

Resolved, That increasing awareness, speaking out about heart disease, and empowering women to reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke can save thousands of lives each year.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator MacGregor moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The resolution was adopted.

Senators Brinks, Chang, Geiss and Polehanki were named co-sponsors of the resolution.

 

 

Senator Santana asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Santana’s statement is as follows:

Today I rise in support of this resolution to declare February 2020 as American Heart Month and February 19, 2020 as Go Red for Women Day in Michigan.

Despite increased awareness, only about half of women recognize that heart disease is the No. 1 killer in the United States. Heart disease is also the leading cause of death for African American and white women in the United States. Among American Indian and Alaska Native women, heart disease and cancer cause roughly the same number of deaths each year; and for Hispanic and Asian or Pacific Islander women, heart disease is second only to cancer as a cause of death.

While we can’t wait entirely to prevent heart disease, we can control factors such as blood pressure, smoking, cholesterol, and lack of regular physical activity. The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement encourages women to learn more about their family history and meet a healthcare provider to determine their risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Education and awareness are the keys to slowing the onset of cardiovascular disease. Today and every day, it is important for us to know five life‑changing numbers: total cholesterol, good cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and body mass index.

Colleagues, I hope you’ll join me in supporting this resolution and spreading awareness.
