 6 WHEREAS, the Federal Government, and other nongovernmental 
 7 organizations, are wasting the money of American taxpayers by 
 8 sending more than 40 million dollars each week to the Taliban, 
 9 an organization with an extensive record of human atrocities 
 10 which is currently under review to be designated as a foreign 
 11 terrorist organization, and 
 12 WHEREAS, reporting indicates that such taxpayer funds are 
 13 being laundered through multiple channels, with Taliban leaders 
 14 taking a share of the money and providing aid to Taliban 
 15 supporters, and 
 16 WHEREAS, the Taliban allows designated foreign terrorist 
 17 organizations al-Qaida, Tehrik-e-Taliban, and the Haqqani 
 18 Network to operate in Afghanistan, and 
 19 WHEREAS, in the past, the Taliban has used noncombatants as 
 20 human shields; taken part in mass murder, gang rape, and 
 21 hangings; and used Sharia law to remove rights from women, 
 22 including banning girls from access to education, restricting 
 23 women’s ability to work, and requiring women to be covered head 
 24 to-toe, as part of a broader strategy to remove women from 
 25 public life, NOW, THEREFORE,

 27 Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Florida: 
 28 
 29 That the Congress of the United States is urged to pass

 34 copies of this memorial to the President of the United States,
