  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of 2010 Hispanic 
Heritage Month, as we celebrate the members of this community and their 
invaluable contributions to the Greater Cleveland Area and to our 
country.
  Hispanic Heritage month celebrates and illuminates the significant 
contributions that Americans of Hispanic heritage have had on American 
culture. Hispanic Americans have contributed immeasurably toward 
efforts to elevate the human condition.
  Americans of Hispanic descent have served our country in numerous 
ways--as elected officials, teachers, musicians, physicians, veterans, 
community activists, and dedicated employees in virtually every sector 
of the economy. Their rich and diverse culture has touched the life of 
every American has been an invaluable addition to Cleveland's diverse 
social fabric.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and celebration 
of Hispanic Heritage month of 2010, as we recognize the great 
contributions made by Hispanic Americans in my district and around the 
country.

                          ____________________
