SENATE RESOLUTION CONDEMNING POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND REAFFIRMING THE PRINCIPLES OF CIVILITY, PUBLIC SAFETY, AND DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE

This Senate resolution condemns all forms of political violence and reaffirms the principles of civility and democratic governance in Rhode Island. It specifically denounces a recent attempted attack on President Donald J. Trump and calls on citizens and leaders to resolve disagreements through peaceful dialogue and the ballot box rather than intimidation. The bill directs the Secretary of State to send copies of this statement to the President and state congressional representatives, serving as a formal expression of the Senate's stance rather than a change in law.
