Cli£%on 1 o£ 2 <br /> <br />URGENT REQUEST <br /> <br />URGENT REQUEST <br /> <br />September 12, 2001 <br /> <br />Dear County Leader: <br /> <br /> Today is a sad day in America. On behalf of the National Association of Counties, we want <br />to express our grief and anger over the terrorist events of yesterday, and make a request of counties <br />nationwide. <br /> <br /> NACo requests that your county board consider passing a resolution condemning the <br />cowardly and deadly actions of these terrorists; and supporting the President of the United States, as <br />he works with his national securily team to defend against additional attacks, and find the <br />perpetrators to bring them to justice. <br /> <br /> As your citizens ask you what they can do to assist in the aftermath of this tragedy, the White <br />House has recommended that giving blood could be the single most useful action Americans can <br />take. Blood supplies are always in need of replenishment, and large quantities will be needed to help <br />victims of these senseless acts. Please urge everyone to make this important contribution. <br /> <br /> These horrific events have affected all Americans, but it is important that we carry on with the <br />regular activities ofour lives. Terrorism cannot he allowed to break the spirit of the American <br />people, and the best way to show these cowards that they have truly failed is for the l~ople of the <br />United States and their counties to stand tall and proud. <br /> <br /> NACo salutes your leadership in this time of uncertainty, and thanks you for your <br />consideration of our request. <br /> <br />Javier Gcm~,ales <br />President <br />National Association of Counties <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />I,arry E. Naake <br />Executive Director <br />National Association of Counties <br /> <br />Draft resolution attached <br /> <br /> <br />
