SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 90

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
recognize Doris Haddock for her exemplary and patriotic work 
on behalf of democracy; and
	WHEREAS, Doris Haddock, affectionately known as Granny D, 
was born January 24, 1910, and has dedicated her life to the 
principle of service to others and to the support of democracy; 
and
	WHEREAS, In the late 1990s, Granny D turned her attention 
to the issue of campaign finance reform in our country and was 
inspired to walk across America to bring her message to the 
American people; on January 1, 1999, she began a 3,200-mile trip 
from Pasadena, California, across the country to Washington, D.C., 
where she arrived 14 months later on February 9, 2000; and
	WHEREAS, During her trek, Doris visited several Texas 
cities over the course of four months, and she was warmly 
welcomed by numerous Texans; ranchers, inn owners, and civic 
leaders feted her and supported the 90-year-old woman's cause; 
after passage of the Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002, 
Granny D again visited Texas to participate in the kickoff of 
the Rolling Thunder Tour; and
	WHEREAS, Granny D's walk across America helped to put the 
spotlight on the need for campaign finance reform in our country, 
and her indomitable spirit and concern for America's citizens 
have been a source of inspiration to countless Texans; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
78th Legislature, hereby commend Doris Haddock for her 
dedication to her country and her exceptional accomplishments 
and recognize her as an Honorary Texan with all attendant rights 
and privileges thereof; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared 
for Doris Haddock as an expression of high regard from the 
Texas Senate.
                                                                      Barrientos
