R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Members of the Mexican-American Democrats of Texas 
have long worked to advance causes important to the state's large 
Hispanic population, and their groundbreaking efforts have helped 
to ensure that the voices of all our citizens are heard and 
respected; and
	WHEREAS, Under the capable leadership of its presidents 
through the years, the Mexican-American Democrats of Texas has 
successfully increased the representation of Hispanic Texans at the 
local, state, and national levels and will undoubtedly continue 
this proud tradition throughout the years to come; and
	WHEREAS, Following in the footsteps of such groups as La Raza 
Unida and the Southwest Voter Registration Project, members of the 
Mexican-American Democrats of Texas have employed grassroots 
methods to reach the largest audience possible; by actively 
soliciting their constituents' opinions and faithfully 
representing their concerns, they have demonstrated the truest 
ideals of the democratic process, and the year 2006 marks an 
opportune time to honor the leadership of those who have given of 
their time and talents to benefit this worthy group since its 
inception; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor the former presidents of the

wishes for continued success and happiness in all their endeavors; 
and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the Mexican-American Democrats of Texas as an 
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
