Senate Resolution No. 112, introduced by the State Affairs Committee, commemorates the 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry's historic speech delivered on March 23, 1775, at the Second Virginia Convention in Richmond, Virginia. The resolution highlights the significance of Henry's words, which inspired a spirit of resistance among the American colonies and laid a foundational piece for American independence. His declaration, "Give me liberty or give me death," is recognized as a rallying cry for the pursuit of liberty and the inherent rights of individuals, emphasizing that these rights are not granted by rulers but are endowed by a higher power.

In honoring this anniversary, the Senate reaffirms its commitment to the principles of liberty, civic engagement, and self-governance that Henry championed. The resolution encourages the people of Idaho to reflect on the sacrifices made for American independence and to uphold the values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for future generations. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit certified copies of the resolution to the Governor, the Idaho State Historical Society, and the America250 in Idaho Advisory Council to promote recognition of this significant occasion.
