Ninety-Third Regular Session
The Assembly met in the Assembly Chamber located in the State Capitol. Pursuant to Section
13.02 of the Wisconsin Statutes and Assembly Rule
5, the Assembly was called to order by the chief clerk of the 1995-96 session, Charles Sanders.
The prayer was offered by Reverend Roger Clapp of Portage United Methodist Church:
"May We Unite Our Spirits in Prayer.
Almighty God, all authority exists through divine permission. We gather on this commemorative day to recognize our elected Assembly representatives. In time past you raised up men and women, anointed them with the mantle of leadership, and commissioned them with the power of wisdom and a passion for justice. So we implore your spirit upon today's gathered ones and the opening of our 93rd legislature.
You have blessed us with the beautiful state of Wisconsin, wonderfully spirited and gifted citizens, and resources sufficient to lend respect, dignity and plenty to all. You have pledged your divine presence as the desired expression of righteousness, faithfulness and redemptive action.
Remind our leaders always of the honor and awesome responsibility of their office. They are chosen by those whom they are called to serve. Help them to walk humbly as servant-leaders looking for the common denominators by which to build bridges rather than walls. Inspire their vision to serve causes which truly embrace the common good and foster unity.
Guide and bless the person and office of our Governor Tommy Thompson. We thank you for his life's devotion and gifts to public leadership. Grant to him daily physical strength, sensitivity to the human condition, discernment of the role and direction of state government, a strong moral compass and spiritual vitality.
Provide the wisdom of fairness and compassionate righteousness as our State Supreme Court Justices interpret and implement the law. May their decisions be honored by practical spirit as much as by critical review.
Empower our Assembly leaders and all legislators so their efforts will collectively offer the redemption of society and government through acts which bestow your just love. We trust them to lead through their knowledge and fair discussion of issues, through the following of their well-defined conscience, through sensitivity to the real needs of their constituents and bold action that knows no inhibiting boundaries. What they do and the manner in which they do legislation does make a difference. Help our leaders to reach out and touch those without power, rank, or prestige even as you stretched forth your hand to us. Expand their hearts to love and walk with your people, to feel their pain and share their joys, to dream their dreams and to empower their journey.
And we pray Almighty God, equip those who serve on all staffs of our legislators and within this capitol. We recognize with appreciation the busyness of their work and their cooperative spirits. May they know the satisfaction of serving well and the joy of sharing their gifts.
In all this we would pray not our will but thine be done. For it is not our kingdom that we seek but thine. And we do it not for the remembrance of our name but only for your glory. Amen."
