                       Monday, November 15, 2010

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 35th 
Anniversary of Ohio Citizen Action, a non-profit, grassroots, non-
partisan, citizen action organization whose main focus is protection of 
our environment.
  Founded in 1975, Ohio Citizen Action has 80,000 members of all ages 
and backgrounds. Ohio Citizen Action inspires action and involvement 
through door-to-door and phone banking campaigns that communicate news 
and information to communities, and empower and organize citizens on a 
wide range of issues and projects with a focus on making our world a 
better place.
  From organizing against companies that violate environmental laws, to 
implementing the ``Good Neighbor Campaign'' that utilizes elements of 
community organizing, Ohio Citizen Action's true grassroots activism 
continues to inform, empower, strengthen and protect our entire 
community.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and recognition 
of the members and leaders, past and present, of Ohio Citizen Action as 
they celebrate their 35th anniversary.

                          ____________________
