  Mr. ZELDIN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise with a growing number of 
Americans in celebrating National Decency Day, a call to action to 
engage in civil discussion in the midst of bitter divisiveness.
  As Americans, we cherish our freedom to dissent, but we must always 
bear in mind that these debates should be productive and substantive.
  Lisa Cholnoky, a part-time resident of my district, has championed 
this belief in founding her Campaign for Decency. This campaign, which 
began on Shelter Island in my district, has now spread as far as Hawaii 
and Alaska.
  This campaign sets an example for all of us to abide by across our 
country and here in Congress as we strive to reach across the aisle in 
a bipartisan fashion.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Ms. Cholnoky for championing this issue and 
empowering so many Americans to do the same.
