I am happy to announce that I have a new Official U.S. House of Representatives YouTube page that will allow me to better reach out to you and share the things I am working on both in Washington and in South Florida and the Keys. You can find my new page at http://www.youtube.com/user/IleanaRosLehtinen - I hope in the coming weeks to share as many of my old archived videos with you as possible!

The inauguration went over smoothly
Posted by: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (01-23-2009, 05:31 PM)
This week I am both pleased and relieved that the inauguration went over smoothly up in Washington. My office in D.C. was open throughout the weekend and into the inauguration to help South Floridians navigate the complicated restrictions around the Capitol. I hope that you had a chance to visit with us if you were up in Washington for the event, if not however, please stop in next time you are in town!

The Strength of our Democracy
Posted by: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (01-17-2009, 04:34 PM)
On Tuesday, January 20 our nation will celebrate a process as old as our republic itself: the peaceful transfer of power. Although seen as commonplace, it speaks volumes about the strength of our democracy. Citizens will come together to welcome our new President. As I reflect on this event, I am humbled to be able to be part of a nation that allows all the chance to succeed if they put forth the effort.

4th Annual Florida Keys Seafood Festival at Bayview Park, Key West
Posted by: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (01-17-2009, 04:33 PM)
I look forward to spending a great Saturday at the 4th Annual Florida Keys Seafood Festival at Bayview Park, Key West. The festival provides Keys fishermen the opportunity to share the freshest seafood in the State of Florida with festival attendees. The seafood festival provides me a great opportunity to see first hand the many talented persons and their craft that call the Keys their home. Indeed, it will be a wonderful day.

Saving Native Plants in South Florida
Posted by: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (01-09-2009, 12:31 PM)
Next week I will meet with top Agriculture Department officials to request emergency funding to combat the Redbay Ambrosia Beetle. The insect introduces a killer fungus that causes Laurel Wilt disease, which is ravaging the forest industry and native plants in the Southeastern United States and it is now quickly spreading throughout the State of Florida.
