                        HON. THOMAS G. TANCREDO

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 10, 2006

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor two great Americans, 
Norman and Marlyn Scheffel of Parker, Colorado. Norman and Marlyn are 
long-time champions of public involvement in the democratic process.
  Norman and Marlyn have attended precinct caucuses ever since they 
moved to Parker, in 1973. Norman currently serves as a district captain 
overseeing five precincts.
  The Scheffel's have always been active in the community. Marlyn has 
volunteered with Bible studies and has run programs to watch children 
so that mothers could have a day off.
  The Scheffel's decades of dedication to grassroots politics is so 
legendary that they were the focus of a recent news story in the Rocky 
Mountain News.
  Americans should look at Norman and Marlyn as examples of how 
everyday Americans should be engaged in the political process. I thank 
them for their commitment to America and wish them all the best in the 
future.
