SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 35
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the members of the Texas Federation of Republican Women
and to join them in celebrating Texas Federation of Republican
Women Day at the Capitol on February 4, 2021; and
WHEREAS, One of the largest women's organizations in the
nation, the Texas Federation of Republican Women was established
in 1955 as an outgrowth of the National Federation of Republican
Women; since its creation, the Texas group has remained committed
to the underlying principles of the Republican Party and has
worked to promote government that reflects the will of the
citizens of Texas; and
WHEREAS, This group of distinguished women seeks to foster
strength and unity in political action through outreach and
education and through its active support of Republican
candidates; the organization encourages Republican women to run
for political office and helps to prepare candidates to become
effective party leaders; members are able to engage in the
political process through local and statewide meetings and
through opportunities to participate in campaign projects and
volunteer service; and
WHEREAS, The Texas Federation of Republican Women has
partnered with the American Red Cross to help the organization to
provide life-saving blood to those in need; the political group
has assisted the nonprofit organization with its work during the
COVID-19 pandemic by offering its clubs for use as blood donation
sites; the clubs are able to provide the accommodations needed to
allow for social-distancing and are equipped with the necessary
resources to meet current health and safety protocols for blood
donation; and
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Federation of Republican
Women carry on a proud legacy of service and political activism
in the Lone Star State, and it is indeed fitting that the
organization be honored with a special day of recognition at the
Texas Capitol; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Texas Federation
of Republican Women and extend to them best wishes for a
rewarding Texas Federation of Republican Women Day at the
Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the
organization as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
