  H.R. No. 315
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Each year on September 16, Mexicans and Hispanics of
  Mexican descent celebrate Mexico's independence from Spain,
  recalling the historic events of that day in 1810; and
         WHEREAS, Diez y Seiz de Septiembre marks the beginning of the
  revolution that occurred after years of oppressive rule by Spain;
  Catholic priest and national hero Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla touched
  off the long-simmering rebellion when he ordered the arrest of
  native Spaniards in the town of Dolores and encouraged the
  indigenous peoples of Mexico to overthrow the brutal Spanish
  regime; and
         WHEREAS, Today, Father Hidalgo is revered as the father of
  Mexican independence, and his patriotic heroism continues to
  inspire oppressed people of all nationalities; the legacy of this
  remarkable man and his message of solidarity evoke heartfelt
  feelings of pride and patriotism among those who celebrate this
  momentous historical event; and
         WHEREAS, El Grito de Independencia, or the "Shout of
  Independence," is on the lips of those who pay homage to the courage
  and perseverance of Father Hidalgo and his unlikely band of
  revolutionaries, and the defiant, yet hopeful cry of "Mexicanos,
  Viva Mexico" is uttered in proud tribute to their memory; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize Diez y Seiz de Septiembre, 2010, and
  pay tribute to the many native Mexicans who gave their lives in the
  quest for freedom and independence.
