                       Wednesday, April 18, 2012

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Cleveland 
Peace Action as they gather for the Second Annual Save Our 
Communities--Books Not Bombs, Jobs Not Jails, Families Not Foreclosures 
Forum and Dinner and Rally on April 14 and 17, 2012.
  Cleveland Peace Action, a chapter of Peace Action, was established in 
1981 as the Greater Cleveland Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign. Their 
mission is ``To reduce the threat of violence, war and terrorism by 
working through peaceful, just and democratic means.'' Cleveland Peace 
Action works for global nuclear disarmament, a comprehensive nuclear 
test ban treaty, a reduced military budget, alternatives to war and 
violence, cooperation with other nations and protection of human 
rights.
  On April 14 and 17, 2012, Cleveland Peace Action will host the Save 
Our Communities--Books Not Bombs, Jobs Not Jails, Families Not 
Foreclosures Forum and Dinner and Save Our Communities--Make Taxation 
Fair! Bring the War $$$ Home! Invest In Real Security! Rally. The 
community forum will be held on Saturday, April 14 at the Pilgrim 
United Church of Christ and will feature National Priorities Project's 
Senior Research Analyst, Chris Hellman, as the keynote speaker. The 
rally will be held on April 17 in Cleveland Public Square.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in recognizing Cleveland 
Peace Action as members of the Northeast Ohio community gather for the 
Second Annual Save Our Communities--Books Not Bombs, Jobs Not Jails, 
Families Not Foreclosures Forum and Dinner and Rally.
