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 2008 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 80th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby honor the former presidents of the Mexican |
|
American Democrats of Texas and extend to them warmest best 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. |
