A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY,
CALIFORNIA IMPLORING ALL PATRIOTIC AMERICANS TO AWAKEN
AND TO FIGHT ALL COMMUNISTIC ACTIVITY
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Downey is gravely concerned
over the ever - increasing threat and danger to this country occasioned by
Communistic activity and the insidious spread of all its doctrine; and
WHEREAS, Communism in all its forms is diametrically opposed to the
democratic principles and inalienable rights established in our Constitu-
tion guaranteeing freedom of religion and pursuit of free enterprise; and
WHEREAS, only an alert, informed and vigilant people, ever conscious
to the danger of liberty's loss, can form the bulwark to take affirmative
action to meet this danger; and
WHEREAS, this threat is not in the guise of one overwhelming disaster,
but piecemeal, over a period of time, following the declared schedule of the
foes of liberty;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that there be constant vigilance by an
informed and alert citizenry, devoted public officials and employees, and a
re- dedication by all loyal Americans to the principles and ideals of our
founding fathers, which lie within the patriotic American's love for free-
dom and regard for the dignity of the individual.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this , day of c!,c.1.. , 1961.
