  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
Road Rage Awareness Week--a week created by Reaching Out Against Road 
Rage, Inc. to encourage safer driving practices and to prevent 
unnecessary violence on the roads.
  Reaching Out Against Road Rage, Inc., or R.O.A.R.R. is a nonprofit 
organization located in Muskegon County, Michigan. R.O.A.R.R., was 
established by Kay Foster-Shabazz, two years after the death of her 
twenty year-old daughter, Diyamond, in a road rage related incident in 
2002. Since its establishment, the mission of R.O.A.R.R. has been to 
prevent road rage, protect and support victims of road rage and to 
promote the saving of lives.
  R.O.A.R.R. has been working to reduce the number of road rage related 
incidents by promoting awareness and providing educational tools. In 
addition, R.O.A.R.R. pledges to assist victims and their families 
throughout the recovery process by providing a multitude of resources.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in recognizing Road Rage 
Awareness Week, July 10-16, 2011. The hard work of Reaching Out Against 
Road Rage, Inc. has made the roads safer for everyone.
