                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 17, 2011

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
long and distinguished life of Ms. Mary Frances Moore.
  For more than twenty years she spent numerous hours campaigning for 
the person she thought was the best candidate for political position. 
Whether it was going door to door collecting absentee ballots or 
campaign at the polls, she was always there. She campaigned for offices 
of President, Representatives, Supervisors, Mayors and numerous others. 
If there is ever a political rally, you can count on her to be there.
  She represents the many voices, faces and ideas that we may never 
hear, see, or even understand. She knows what is most beneficial for 
our town, state and country. She takes her political experience and 
uses it in a positive manner and that is to provide our citizens the 
opportunity to be heard by a ballot cast.
  To know her is to love her and to be on the opposing side, well, you 
are in trouble.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. Mary 
Frances Moore for her role in the political arena.
