KRS 39A.285: Legislative findings.

The General Assembly hereby finds that:

(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

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

of American Presidents, including Abraham Lincoln's histo ric March 30, 1863,

Presidential Proclamation urging Americans to pray and fast during one of the most

dangerous hours in American history, and the text of President John F. Kennedy's

November 22, 1963, national security speech which concluded: "For as was written

long ago: 'Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.' "
