                   SCR 80 (Corbett) - As Amended:  February 4, 2014

           SENATE VOTE  :   33-0
           
          SUBJECT  :   Irish American Heritage Month.

           SUMMARY  :   Designates March 2014 as Irish American Heritage  
          Month in honor of the multitude of contributions that Irish  
          Americans have made to the country and state.  Specifically,  
           this resolution  makes the following legislative findings:

          1)Millions of Irish people immigrated to the United States over  
            the last several centuries.

          2)Irish Americans initially suffered prejudice and  
            discrimination upon first arriving in the United States; but,  
            as years went on, Irish Americans became very involved in all  
            aspects of American society and culture, especially in  
            California.

          3)Today over 34 million Americans claim Irish heritage; and they  
            continue to contribute to American and California's political,  
            economic, and cultural landscape.
