Expressing support for the designation of May 4, 2026, as a "National Day of Reason" and recognizing the central importance of reason in the betterment of humanity.

National Day of Reason. This resolution would designate May 4, 2026 as a National Day of Reason and urge Americans to observe it. It frames reason, critical thought, the scientific method, and free inquiry as key to progress in science, medicine, technology, and society. The text links reason to defending the rule of law, the separation of church and state, civil liberties, and resisting disinformation and authoritarianism. It also highlights reason as central to confronting climate change and cites founders and thinkers who tied knowledge to liberty and self-government.
