California Proclamation (February 11, 1993) signed by Governor Pete Wilson declaring February 14-20, 1993, as "Christian Heritage Week":
<WHEREAS, the Judeo-Christian moral traditions upon which our 00nation was founded have greatly influenced the lives of generations of Americans and the development of our society; and
WHEREAS, these traditions are bolstered by ideals vital to our individual happiness and collective good; and
WHEREAS, these traditions stress the importance of family, religion, personal and societal responsibility, humane and just values, and brotherhood among all mankind; and
WHEREAS, great men and women throughout U.S. history have turned to their religious beliefs not only for their own comfort, strength, and inspirational guidance, but to embolden them in their efforts to promote liberty, humanity, and opportunity for all people; and
WHEREAS, today's culture makes it difficult for mothers and fathers to impart to their children the moral traditions that will enrich their growing years and help them become responsible, productive adults; and
WHEREAS, we must uphold the Judeo-Christian traditions that have for centuries been our nation's strength, for in remembering and celebrating our religious past we can more faithfully strive for a vibrant spiritual future; and
WHEREAS, once again this year, citizens from coast to coast will be joined in celebration of Christian Heritage Week to rededicate themselves to the tenets of Judeo-Christian teaching that have helped make America the greatest nation in the world;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Pete Wilson, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim February 14-20, 1993, as Christian Heritage Week in California and urge all citizens to appropriately celebrate this observance with reverence for the beliefs they cherish and thanks for the blessings in their lives.
In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 11th day of February, 1993.
Pete Wilson, Governor of California M.F., Secretary of State.> 1993CA001
