RECEPTION APRIL 8 AT 6:30-8:30PM

HONORING ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN,

CHAIR, HOUSE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE

HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO JUNE 10.

As you are aware, and as the tv and radio news has continuously reported, there is a crisis of monumental proportions brewing in Washington, D.C.

The Democrats want an increase in taxes and the Republicans want more spending cut from the budget.

If the members of Congress can not come to some agreement by Friday, at least enough of an agreement to vote to accept a resolution to continue funding the government at current levels for a period of time, the federal government will shut down at midnight on Friday.

What that means is that as of midnight on Friday, the government no longer is authorized to issue checks.

Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen feels it would not be appropriate, responsible, nor proper for her to travel to Southern California with such a situation pending, and so, regrettably, she is having to cancel her events here in Southern California this coming weekend and postpone them until June.

Please watch your inbox for more information about the new date. Thank you for your interest and support. The Congresswoman has been very gratified and is most appreciative.

If you have any questions, please contact Sheila McNichols at 626-969-1304.

Sincerely,

Luis Alvarado

I am a Republican Because...	Soy Republicano Porque...
I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.	Creo que la fortaleza de nuestra nación yace en el individuo, y que la dignidad, libertad, habilidad y responsabilidad de cada persona deben ser honradas.
I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.	Creo en la igualdad de derechos, en la justicia equitativa y en la igualdad de oportunidad sin prejuicios de raza, credo, sexo, edad, o capacidad física.
I believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.	Creo que el sistema de libre comercio y el fomento de la iniciativa individual han generado en nuestra nación oportunidades, crecimiento económico y prosperidad.
I believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.	Creo que el gobierno debe practicar la responsabilidad fiscal y permitir que cada persona conserve más del dinero que gana.
I believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs the least.	Creo que la función del gobierno es proveer al pueblo solamente los servicios básicos que no son ofrecidos por los individuos o por las organizaciones privadas. Creo que le mejor gobierno es el que menos interviene.
I believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government is the government closest to the people.	Creo que el gobierno más eficaz, responsable y sensato es el que esta más cerca de los ciudadanos.
I believe Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.	Creo que debemos mantener los principios que nos han hecho una nación fuerte, al tiempo que desarrollamos ideas innovadoras que nos permitan enfrentar los retos del futuro.
I believe Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom, and human rights throughout the world.	Creo que debemos valorar y mantener nuestra fortaleza y orgullo nacional, al mismo tiempo que luchamos por la paz, la libertad y los derechos humanos en todo el mundo.
Finally, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.	Finalmente creo que el Partido Republicano es el mejor vehículo para transformar esto ideales en prácticas del gobierno positivas y exitosas.
