RECOGNITION FOR THE NEW HAMPSHIRE COALITION AGAINST DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL 
                                VIOLENCE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. FRANK C. GUINTA

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 25, 2011

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I recognize 
October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and take pause to thank 
the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence for 
all that you do on behalf of victims of domestic and sexual abuse here 
in New Hampshire. The line of work you all have chosen is by no means 
an easy one and without your organization, the victims you work with 
would have nowhere to turn.
  Since the Coalition was founded in 1977, it has worked to provide 
services to those suffering from abuse, to spread awareness about 
violence, while also working to prevent it. During the month of 
October, I wanted to take the time to recognize all those who work to 
end violence, as well as those who suffer from it. I commend you for 
all your hard work and dedication. Far too many people have suffered 
needlessly at the hands of another, and the Coalition's work to stop 
and prevent this type of violence is admirable.
  I appreciate all you do on behalf of the women and families that are 
coping with the hardships of abuse. I wish you all the best for 
continued success in the future.
