Rep. Roberts moved that when the House adjourns today it stand adjourned until Wednesday, July 28, at 10:00 a.m. The motion prevailed.

Reps. McMillin, Agema, Calley, Meltzer and Paul Scott offered the following resolution: House Resolution No. 313. A resolution to express strong disappointment over the recent assault on first amendment freedom of speech rights with the arrest of four individuals at the Arab Festival in Dearborn and to urge the Michigan Attorney General to investigate the matter. Whereas, On June 18, 2010, an incident took place at the Arab Festival in Dearborn that has drawn attention as an undeserved assault on first amendment rights. Four people, Negeen Mayel, Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, Paul Rezkalla, and David Wood, were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, even though video evidence indicates that these four individ-uals were doing little more than talking with people who had initiated conversations with them; and Whereas, The four people put into handcuffs by Dearborn police were at the festival to make themselves available to festival attendees in the hopes of engaging them in discussions about religion in response to questions from people attending or near the festival. The four individuals, who were exercising their rights to free speech, hoped to talk about their Christian faith with people who asked or to distribute copies of one of the gospels. By all accounts, including video recording on the scene before the recording equipment was confiscated by police, the interactions were not precipitated by the four who were arrested. Anyone seeing the recorded interactions would be hard pressed to find any evidence of disorderly conduct initiated by the persons taken into custody; and Whereas, The Michigan Constitution reaffirms the rights secured in our federal constitution. Article 1, Section 5 of the Michigan Constitution provides: “Every person may freely speak, write, express and publish his views on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of such right; and no law shall be enacted to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press”; and Whereas, The sanctity of our first amendment rights to free speech is not conditioned by which religion or which point of view a person advocates. The rights set forth in our fundamental law cannot be pushed aside for political correctness or to accommodate certain circumstances or locales; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express strong disappointment over the recent assault of first amend-ment rights with the arrest of Negeen Mayel, Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, Paul Rezkalla, and David Wood at the Arab Festival in Dearborn; and be it further


Resolved, That we also urge the Michigan Attorney General to investigate the assault on these citizens’ rights under Article 1, Section 5 of the Michigan Constitution guaranteeing freedom of speech; and be it further Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Dearborn Police Department, the Thomas More Law Center, and the Office of the Michigan Attorney General. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

The following communication from the Department of State Police was received and read:

July 12, 2010 In accordance with MCL 333.7524a., I am pleased to present to the Michigan Legislature the 18th comprehensive report on asset forfeiture. Michigan’s asset forfeiture program saves taxpayer money and deprives drug criminals of cash and property obtained through illegal activity. Michigan’s law enforcement community has done an outstanding job of stripping drug dealers of illicit gain and utilizing these proceeds to expand and enhance drug enforcement efforts to protect our citizens. During 2009, over $33.9 million in cash and assets amassed by drug traffickers was forfeited and placed into the fight against drugs through the use of state and federal forfeiture laws. Extensive multi-agency teamwork is evident in this report. Considerable assets were obtained as the result of joint enforcement involving several agencies at the federal, state and local levels. Forfeiture funds were used to further enforce drug laws by providing resources for drug enforcement personnel, needed equipment, undercover informant and investigative costs, and matching funds to obtain federal grants. Some of the for-feited assets were also used for drug and gang prevention education programs. I commend our law enforcement community for the tremendous job they have done and submit this report for your information and review.

Sincerely,Col. Eddie L. Washington, Jr.DIRECTOR

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 40. A concurrent resolution to memorialize Congress to enact pending legislation to grant permanent lawful resident status to Ibrahim Parlak. Whereas, Ibrahim Parlak was born in Turkey in 1962. A Kurd, Ibrahim Parlak was tortured and imprisoned for his involvement in Kurdish human rights efforts in his homeland as a young man. Fearing for his life, he fled Turkey and arrived in the United States in 1991, settling in Chicago for a short time before moving to southwestern Michigan in 1992, where he has lived as a model immigrant. As a small business owner and dedicated father, this gentleman has built a life in Harbart, Michigan, that has been exemplary; and Whereas, Granted political asylum in 1992, Ibrahim Parlak began the naturalization process as soon as he was eligible to do so, applying for citizenship in 1998. At each stage of this process, he was fully honest with immigration officials, admitting that he had to leave Turkey with false documents and revealing all his actions with Kurdish groups; and Whereas, Mr. Parlak’s naturalization application was denied in November 2001, shortly after the terror attacks of 9/11. Apparently, Mr. Parlak’s association, during his years in Turkey, with certain people affiliated with a Kurdish organization now considered to be a terrorist group was noted by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Mr. Parlak had been entirely forthcoming with all his activities in his application for political asylum when he arrived in the Untied States. In spite of this, federal officials commenced deportation proceedings, and in 2004, Ibrahim Parlak was imprisoned, without bail, for 10 months before a federal district court judge ruled his detention unconstitutional; and Whereas, Mr. Parlak’s efforts to clear his name and restart his effort to fulfill his dream of becoming an American citizen have drawn the strong support of many people in southwestern Michigan. His reputation in the food service industry, his impeccable standing in the community, his devotion to his American-born daughter, and his personal integrity are well-known by all who have interacted with him over the years. The hundreds of statements and signatures in support of Mr. Parlak reflect the widespread respect and admiration he has generated since arriving in this country; and Whereas, Through the efforts of Congressman Upton and Senator Levin, private bills (H.R.976/S.403) are pending in Congress to grant relief to Ibrahim Parlak and allow him to pursue citizenship and to continue to contribute to a stronger Michigan and America; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we memorialize Congress to enact pending legislation to grant permanent lawful resident status to Ibrahim Parlak and to allow him to work to become an American citizen; and be it further Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation. The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution. The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
