WHEREAS, the Federal Government, and other nongovernmental

sending more than 40 million dollars each week to the Taliban,

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

taking a share of the money and providing aid to Taliban
15
supporters, and

WHEREAS, the Taliban allow 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 broader strategy to remove women from public
25
life, NOW, THEREFORE,
27
Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
29
That the Congress of the United States is urged to pass
30
