R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Texas Federation of Republican Women is a 
volunteer army that rivals any other women's organization in the 
state for the commitment, hard work, and enthusiasm it brings to its 
myriad endeavors; and
	WHEREAS, Numbering 11,000 members strong with 171 clubs in 
communities across Texas, TFRW actively supports Republican 
candidates and provides strength and unity for political action; 
and
	WHEREAS, Promoting education, training, and participation in 
government, this dynamic organization empowers women to make their 
voices heard, encouraging women to run for public office and 
training others to become effective volunteers; members of this 
esteemed group have contributed countless hours to Republican Party 
candidates, chairing campaigns, directing phone banks, 
coordinating rallies, and handling innumerable other crucial 
responsibilities; and
	WHEREAS, Many of these remarkable women are present in the 
Capitol today, and the State of Texas is undoubtedly richer for 
their participation in the political process; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby recognize this day, April 14, 2005, as Texas 
Federation of Republican Women Day and extend a heartfelt welcome 
to TFRW members visiting Austin; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
