Page 1 of 1 39A.285 Legislative findings. The General Assembly hereby finds that: <br>(1) No government by itself can guarantee perfect security from acts of war or terrorism. (2) The security and well-being of the public depend not just on government, but rest in large measure upon individual citizens of the Commonwealth and their level of <br>understanding, preparation, and vigilance. (3) The safety and security of the Commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God as set forth in the public speeches and proclamations <br>of American Presidents, including Abraham Lincoln's historic March 30, 1863, <br>Presidential Proclamation urging Americans to pray and fast during one of the most <br>dangerous hours in American history, and the text of President John F. Kennedy's <br>November 22, 1963, national security speech which concluded: &quot;For as was written <br>long ago: 'Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.' &quot; Effective: March 28, 2002 <br>History: Created 2002 Ky. Acts ch. 82, sec. 2, effective March 28, 2002.
