Rep. Barbara Vander Veen, from the 89th District, offered the following invocation:
"PSALM 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
He will not let your foot slip; He who watches over you will not slumber
Indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep
The Lord watches over you the Lord is your shade at your right hand,
the sun will not harm you by day nor the moon by night
the Lord will keep you from all harm, He will watch over your life.
The Lord will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
Father, as we approach this time of Thanksgiving, we are mindful of the blessings of your help in all of life's situations.
Thank you that the maker of heaven and earth watches over us. Lord, we have the awesome blessing and responsibility of serving You in this chamber, we are thankful for that too, especially during these long nights.
Forgive us when we are NOT thankful, when we take Your hand in our lives for granted. We ask for YOUR mind, Your solutions, YOUR attitudes in all we do here. We ask You for thankful hearts, for family, friends and health. We are grateful as we head off in many directions in the next two weeks. Thank You for watching over our coming and going both now and forevermore--Amen."

Rep. Bieda, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted "no" on House Bill 5098 because the bill fails in several ways to reflect the agreement reached between Governor Jennifer Granholm and legislative leadership. Without addressing the SBT sunset we are negligently positioning the state for financial crisis. This is unfortunate, because the residents of this state want and deserve a comprehensive jobs package."
Rep. Cushingberry, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no because the bill fails in several ways to reflect the agreement between Governor Granholm and Legislative leadership. Without addressing the SBT sunset (which I co-sponsored over 20 years ago to assist our manufacturers) we are negligently positioning the State for a further financial crisis. The residents of this State want and deserve a comprehensive jobs package.
If tax cuts were the solution to the drain of jobs since the 1970's in our State then the tens of billions of dollars cut should have us leading the world in retention and development of jobs. I regret having gotten us in a unsustainable contest of succumbing to the Whit email of some actors in the business community through so called incentives of tax cuts. We need to concentrate on creating a Civil and Civic literate workforce through adult education and internet/television education free to all in Michigan and allowing the local clerks to purge voting lists to improve the Democratic image of our State. The shift of tax burden from commerce to the residents in Michigan remain unconscionable and this bill would simply shift the burden to the individual taxpayers and families from business."

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 155.
A resolution honoring the immense contribution veterans of the U.S. armed services have made for our country and to our quality of life.
Whereas, November 11 is the anniversary of the Armistice which was signed in the Forest of Compiegne by the Allies and the Germans in 1918, ending World War I, after four years of conflict; and
Whereas, Veterans Day emerged from this great outpouring of relief and thanksgiving that marked the end of World War I. Americans wanted to mark the day because it was the war that would make the world safe for democracy - the war to end all wars; and
Whereas, We must never take for granted the unselfish sacrifices our veterans have made to protect the freedom and liberty we enjoy today. Veterans Day gives us a chance to honor the courage of these brave men and women. We have mourned for their pain and loss. We have held our breath waiting for wars to end. We have gratefully welcomed them home. And we have taken pride in their tremendous service; and
Whereas, As we celebrate the great contributions of our military veterans, we are aware that future United States veterans and our current members of the armed forces, are fighting for our way of life right now. In the desert and mountains of Afghanistan, and in the cities of Iraq; and
Whereas, This Legislature has tremendous gratitude and respect for veterans and all of the men and women in uniform who defend our freedom. Through the years, they have never failed to demonstrate courage, sacrifice, and a strong sense of duty. Our great nation could not exist without the sacrifice and service of our veterans, from the Revolutionary War to the present; and
Whereas, Our freedom is a living monument to our veterans. The monument is not confined to the mall in Washington, D.C., or on a plaque at the Michigan Capitol. It stretches from ocean to ocean in this great nation, and must be acknowledged at every dinner table in Michigan, even if it's not November 11; and
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body respect and honor U.S. military veterans. May we never lose sight of the fact that the human spirit will not be crushed in America or in any other country as long as we continue to be blessed with such people of courage and honor.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Ward moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
