                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 17, 2009

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
the services of Colorado State Representative Gwyn Green who will 
retire this year from Colorado's State Legislature.
  Representative Green has been in Colorado's State Legislature since 
2004, and in that time has fought hard for the protection of children 
from sexual predators, as well as, for the prevention of abuse of 
disabled adults. Her passionate speeches and constant dedication to 
service have earned her the reputation of ``The Fighting Granny,'' on 
Colorado's Capital Hill. It was with this commitment and drive that her 
work ethic and passion for the people of Colorado will be most 
remembered.
  In addition to her service in the Colorado State Legislature, 
Representative Green has earned such awards as the Colorado Association 
of Public Health's Distinguished Legislator of the Year, the Colorado 
Society of Clinical Social Workers Advocate of the Year, and was the 
Distinguished Legislator for the National Association of Social 
Workers. These accomplishments display her passion and commitment in 
serving the people of Colorado.
  I extend my deepest thanks once again to Representative Green for her 
time and service to Colorado. I have no doubt her efforts within the 
Colorado State Legislature have made impacts on the State of Colorado 
and on our country.
