Kudos to Ileana on an outstanding interview with Anne O'Bannon this morning. Ileana really nailed it, hitting every major point on Catch Shares and hammering those points again and again. Fleet reduction and job loss, especially in the Keys, would devastate our local economy and they are having the same affect on a broader scale nationwide. Please give our best to Ileana and our sincere thanks for her rock-solid support.

Thank you very much for the acknowledgment letter for my 25 years of service with the Key West Fire Department. We seldom get recognition like this other then what the City of Key West does for us. I am proud to serve the people of Key West and will greatly miss my brothers along with the people of this great Island. Again thank you very much for your letter it means a lot that someone other then the city is thinking about what we do.

Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen has been a champion of Jewish causes around the world including many that directly affect the Jewish community and the State of Israel.
