Background
According to the Special Olympics, the Law Enforcement Torch Run began in 1981 when Wichita, Kansas, Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw a need to raise funds for and increase awareness of the Special Olympics. The Torch Run was quickly adopted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, now recognized as the founding law enforcement organization of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. Through sponsorships, t-shirt sales, and other charity events, the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest fund raiser for the Special Olympics. In 2008, the Law Enforcement Torch Run raised $34 million for Special Olympics Programs. More than 85,000 law enforcement officers carried the “Flame of Hope” across 35 nations, raising awareness and funds for the Special Olympics last year.
Summary
H.Con.Res. 67 would authorize the use of the Capitol Grounds on September 30, 2011, for the 26th Annual District of Columbia Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run, which would be run through the Capitol Grounds as part of the journey of the Special Olympics torch to the District of Columbia Special Olympics summer games.
House Democratic Caucus Summary
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
