	H.R. No. 1663



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Public-spirited citizens from across the Lone Star
	State gathered in Austin on April 9, 2013, to advocate for women and
	their families during Blue Ribbon Lobby Day at the Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Led by organizers Diane Mosier, president of River
	Oaks Area Democratic Women, and Lize Burr, president of Capitol
	Area Democratic Women, and joined by concerned women and leaders
	from around the state, Blue Ribbon Lobby Day was created to bring
	attention to issues important to Texan women, including public
	education, health care, and economic well-being; Dallas-area
	representatives included Carmen Ayala, Kim Morris, Tarsha Hardy,
	Mary Warren, Carol Jablonski, Cindy James, and Janice Schwarz; and
	WHEREAS, During this day of action, progressive and
	Democratic women met with state legislators to discuss the message
	that women are integral to the economic success of this state, and
	that the state's continued prosperity depends on ensuring that
	women have equal opportunities and that their rights are equally
	protected; and
	WHEREAS, Those in attendance wore blue to signify their
	support of the cause and to raise awareness of a number of
	disheartening statistics, including that Texas has the highest
	percentage of uninsured women in the country and that more than a
	fourth of all Texas children live in poverty; and
	WHEREAS, Blue Ribbon Lobby Day helps to raise the voices and
	call attention to the concerns of women and their families, and the
	event stands as a testament to the positive difference that engaged
	Texas women can make; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby commend Carmen Ayala, Kim Morris, Tarsha Hardy,
	Mary Warren, Carol Jablonski, Cindy James, and Janice Schwarz for
	their participation in Blue Ribbon Lobby Day 2013 and extend to them
	sincere best wishes for the future.

	Alonzo
