Expressing support for the month of September as "Founding Fathers' Month".
HRES 678 is a symbolic resolution designating September as "Founding Fathers' Month" without creating new laws or funding. It encourages schools, educational institutions, and government entities to promote awareness of the Founding Fathers' contributions to American democracy, including their role in drafting foundational documents and the Constitution. The resolution urges the Department of Education to support civic education programs focused on founding principles and national history. It does not impose requirements or change existing policies but serves as a non-binding call to honor historical figures and strengthen civic engagement. (Note: This is a procedural resolution, not a substantive bill.)
