R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Ruthie Thomas of Cypress has served with distinction
  as a precinct chair, making lasting contributions to the residents
  of the local area and helping to strengthen the Lone Star State's
  representative form of government; and
         WHEREAS, Precinct chairs play an integral role in the
  electoral process, and their efforts to promote their parties'
  candidates are part of a proud and vital tradition that has helped
  assure that the voices of all citizens are heard; and
         WHEREAS, The value of these dedicated community leaders has
  been recognized by the members of the Texas Legislature, who in 2007
  established the second Tuesday in January as Volunteers for
  Democracy Day, which honors precinct chairs and other individuals
  who enable the state's democratic system of balloting; and
         WHEREAS, It is most appropriate to take this opportunity to
  recognize an outstanding Texan who has devoted time and energy to
  help maintain open and fair participation in area elections; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby commend Ruthie Thomas for serving as a precinct
  chair and extend sincere best wishes to this public-spirited
  individual for continued success and achievement; and, be it
  further
