H.R. No. 321
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, April 9, 2010, will mark the fourth anniversary of
  the Dallas Mega March for American Values and Justice; and
         WHEREAS, The largest public protest in the city's history,
  the Mega March drew between 350,000 and 500,000 participants who
  joined together in support of immigration reform; and
         WHEREAS, This powerful but peaceful gathering was sponsored
  by LULAC and a coalition of Dallas-area groups, and it was attended
  by throngs of people who trod the mile-long parade route in the
  city's downtown; wearing white and carrying signs and American
  flags, marchers highlighted the positive economic impact that
  immigrants have on the U.S. economy and promoted changes that would
  allow foreign workers an easier means of gaining legal status and
  citizenship; and
         WHEREAS, Taking place at a crucial time in the nation's
  history, the Dallas event was part of a series of rallies that
  occurred across the country as federal lawmakers considered
  immigration reform; and
         WHEREAS, The Mega March offered further proof that concerned
  Texans, Hispanics and non-Hispanics alike, were committed to
  voicing their opinions in the immigration debate; that spirit of
  civic involvement remains strong, and it continues to influence
  ongoing discussions about a range of important issues, thereby
  strengthening the vital traditions of free speech and political
  activism in the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate the fourth anniversary of the Dallas
  Mega March for American Values and Justice on April 9, 2010, and pay
  tribute to all those who planned and took part in that historic
  event.
