H.R. No. 219
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Cardiovascular diseases claim the lives of nearly
  455,000 women each year, more than the next five leading causes of
  death combined, including all forms of cancer; and
         WHEREAS, While only 21 percent of women consider
  cardiovascular disease their greatest health risk, some 53 percent
  of cardiovascular disease deaths and more than 60 percent of stroke
  deaths occur in females; and
         WHEREAS, In 2008, the direct and indirect cost of treating
  heart attacks, strokes, and other related illnesses in the United
  States was estimated at $475.3 billion; and
         WHEREAS, The American Heart Association has designated
  February as American Heart Month, and as part of the effort to raise
  awareness about heart disease and stroke, the Go Red For Women
  campaign works to change the perception that heart disease occurs
  only in men; moreover, the campaign encourages women to learn their
  own personal risk for coronary disease by using such tools as the
  American Heart Association's Go Red For Women Heart CheckUp and by
  talking to their health care providers; and
         WHEREAS, Go Red For Women serves as a powerful reminder that
  by taking charge of their heart health women can live stronger,
  longer lives; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 6, 2009, as National Wear Red
  Day and encourage all Texans to show their support for women and the
  fight against heart disease by wearing the color red.
