TSHL Goals
1. To
motivate older citizens to realize that
legislative involvement is a primary
responsibility of effective citizenship.
2. To
help older Texans know that if they are to
become a viable political force, they must
become informed and knowledgeable about the
issues facing our community, state and
nation.
3. To
develop a forum for older adults to discuss
and debate issues concerning, not only their
own welfare, but that of others.
4. To
educate the Silver-Haired Legislators in
their advocacy role in order that they may
continue their involvement in legislative
matters in their local community.
5. To
provide a legislative body in which the
Silver-Haired Legislators will have the
opportunity to introduce, discuss and pass
resolutions dealing with major concerns of
our state.
6.
To work for the passage in the regular Texas
Legislature of those resolutions prioritized
by the TSHL.
