,congress finds the following3 7#a7     
,anti-,communism ,week is a solemn      
remembrance of the devastation caused by
 one of history's most destructive      
ideologies4  7#b7 ,across continents and
 generations1 communism has wrought     
devastation upon nations and souls4     
7#c7 ,more than #ajj1jjj1jjj lives have 
been taken by regimes that sought to    
erase faith1 suppress freedom1 and      
destroy prosperity earned through hard  
work1 violating the ,god-given rights   

and dignity of those they oppressed4    
7#d7 ,honoring the memory of those lives
 renews the promise of the ,united      
,states to stand firm against communism1
 to uphold the cause of liberty and     
human worth1 and to affirm once more    
that no system of government can ever   
replace the will and conscience of a    
free people4  7#e7 ,for more than a     
century1 communism has brought nothing  
but ruin1 silencing dissent1 punishing  
beliefs1 and demanding that generations 
kneel before the power of the state     
instead of standing for freedom4  7#f7  
,the story of communism is written in   
blood and sorrow1 a grim reminder that  
communism is nothing more than another  
word for servitude4  7#g7 ,in the #cd   
years since the end of the ,cold ,war1  
the world has witnessed both the triumph
 of democracy and the persistence of    
tyranny in new forms4  7#h7 ,new voices 
now repeat old lies1 cloaking them in   
the language of social justice and      
democratic socialism1 yet their message 

remains to give up freedom1 place trust 
in the power of the government1 and     
trade the promise of prosperity for the 
empty comfort of control4  7#i7 ,the    
,united ,states rejects communism and   
remains a country founded on the eternal
 truth that liberty and opportunity are 
the birthrights of every individual1 and
 that no ideology1 whether foreign or   
domestic1 can extinguish them4  7#aj7   
,the ,united ,states stands in defense  
of the values that define it as a       
country of free people and honors the   
victims of oppression by keeping their  
cause alive and by ensuring that        
communism and every system that denies  
the rights to life1 liberty1 and the    
pursuit of happiness will find their    
place1 once and for all1 on the ash heap
