The U.S. Senate has passed a resolution designating October 14, 2025, as a “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.”
The resolution honors the late conservative activist who co-founded Turning Point USA. The resolution, known as S. Res. 403, was introduced on September 18th and quickly approved the same day, unanimously by a voice vote. A similar resolution, H. Res. 727, has also been introduced in the House.
The resolution praises Kirk for his work as a “champion of free speech, civic dialogue, and faith” and was introduced by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) with co-sponsors including Sen. Dan Sullivan and 21 others.
It highlights Kirk’s role in founding Turning Point USA, which has thousands of chapters that teaches high school and college students about freedom, free markets, and limited government. The resolution notes Kirk’s bestselling books and speeches that inspired millions of young people to get involved in civic life, especially by defending constitutional values on college campuses. It also states that Kirk died on September 10, 2025, from an assassin’s bullet, and his efforts cost him his life.
The House resolution, introduced on September 16th by Rep. Jimmy Patronis (R-FL), has been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. In the House, the “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk” is cosponsored by Reps. Steube, Alford, Luna, Mills, Bilirakis, Moore, Salazar, Bean, Gimenez, Scott, Van Orden, and Collins. It mirrors the verbiage on the Senate resolution, acknowledging Kirk’s accomplishments and his assassination on September 10th.
Both resolutions encourage schools, community groups, and people across the country to observe October 14th “with appropriate programs, activities, prayers, and ceremonies that promote civic engagement and the principles of faith, liberty, and democracy that Charlie Kirk championed.”
The Senate resolution is complete, having been submitted and passed unanimously on the same day. It requires no further votes since it is just a Senate statement. The House resolution, still in committee, only needs House approval to pass, as these resolutions aren’t laws and don’t require concurrence or presidential action.

RIP Charlie Kirk. You will always be appreciated and remembered
Your debates were so very insightful loved watching them and still do watch the older episodes. Take care my friend
I wish he came up here to Alaska… RIP
100% our campuses needed it
Please join Turning Point USA. And donate. Lets all throw water on the witch!
I really hope the radical liberals watch this service… to finally discover that they have been lied to for years about Kirk and conservatives.
Even gotElon Musk to come and sit with Trump at the event
This article is a nice tribute to Charlie Kirk. Its inspiring to see how his legacy continues through these resolutions. His impact on young people and free speech is truly significant, and this recognition is well-deserved.
Kirk said on an April 2022 episode of his podcast that trans people are responsible for inflation.
“There’s a direct connection to inflation and the trans issue. You say, Charlie, come on. They couldn’t be further apart. No, they’re exactly the same. They’re the same in this aspect—when you believe that men can become women, why wouldn’t you also believe that you could print wealth? If you believe that someone can change their gender, why wouldn’t you also believe that money is wealth?”
Reading comprehension is not exactly your strong point, is it?
.
The last two sentences are the point. Read them more than once, and tell me what is incorrect about them.
Con Trary, please get some sleep, sober up and then apologize for vile nasty lie you just told. Shame on you. Charlie is right and you are too stupid to understand the simple concept he is explaining. You cant print wealth. And a man cannot become a woman. If you dont accept that take it up with GOD. How on earth did you become so stupid Con?
It is an amazing turn out, and as many have said the change in western civilization to returning to their roots.
Perhaps you and Susan can bring Turning point to Anchorage, there must be so many voters who who welcome people who offer a more Christ enlightened tone.
Jonathan you and Susan should be joining forces in the name of Charlie Kirk to register voters who are disenfranchised by the former president, and all of the ridiculous tax payer money spent supporting abnormal activities, in countries that don’t currently support America. And who actually hates America,
He’ll be forgotten next news cycle
Wonder if Suzanne would’ve done an article on the obvious obfuscation and lies the Utah police and governor, the FBI, and the MSM about who killed Charlie?
