A Jewish congressman introduced a resolution to protect the symbols of Chanukah, Kwanzaa and Ramadan. Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) planned to introduce his resolution Thursday evening to counter another resolution, introduced earlier by Rep. Jo Ann Davis (R-Va.), that “recognizes the importance of the symbols and traditions of Christmas” and “strongly disapproves of attempts to ban references to Christmas.”
