Last week I introduced a House resolution that calls for a campaign for kindness, for acts of kindness. The is a gentleman away from Washington, Prof. Chuck Wall, who started this idea. And as we stop and we think about the problems that go on in our communities, we will hear debate in the next few weeks how we can address all the acts of violence, we come to a time, Mr. Speaker, where we have been somewhat desensitized to all the violence that occurs. Mr. Speaker, I am asking the Members to call my office or call my AA and join in on this resolution, which may be symbolic at this point but will one day lead to a point where we can have a whole week memorializing acts of kindness. I think it will begin to get this country on the move to start being kind to one another once again.
