HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
|
WHEREAS, In the new world of social media, people of every age |
|
|
and background from around the world may take part in an endless |
|
|
conversation about all facets of the Lone Star State by using the |
|
|
hashtag #Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In a dynamic, ever-changing stream that runs 24 |
|
|
hours a day, seven days a week, users of Twitter and other online |
|
|
platforms anywhere on the globe may use #Texas to see what people |
|
|
are saying about Texas and to address other followers of the hashtag |
|
|
on anything and everything pertaining to our great state; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, At any given moment, this unfiltered discussion can |
|
|
range from serious political discussions to wisecracks, from |
|
|
advertising to comments about the heat in Houston, from complaints |
|
|
and praise about Texas sporting franchises to celebrations of Texas |
|
|
writers, artists, and musicians; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Social media is transforming the way people the |
|
|
world over share their beliefs, ideals, wit, and fancies, and the |
|
|
followers of #Texas are provided with an always fascinating and |
|
|
never-ending parade of what people talk about when they talk about |
|
|
Texas; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 84th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby designate #Texas as the official hashtag of the state of |
|
|
Texas. |
