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
