Dear Friends and Supporters,

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving and once again thank you for your support during the last year. I also thought I would take this moment to give you a short update on our transition into office.

Immediately after the general election at the request of House leaders, I spent a week in Washington addressing house administration issues, staffing concerns, the committee assignment process and a few other matters. I had the pleasure of working with many members of Congress, tenured and new, during that week. On Monday, the 112th Congress returns from Thanksgiving recess to begin work on a plan that will hopefully prevent the country from falling over the "fiscal cliff". In the meantime, incoming members return for another week of orientation, during which we will be dealing with House leadership elections, House floor procedures, the legislative process and other logistical matters, like selecting House office space.

Trust that I am working hard to effectively represent our newly created Congressional district. Also, please be aware that the 113th Congress is tentatively set to be sworn in on January 3rd, 2013. I invite you to visit Washington D.C. during this time and participate in a series of events that are currently in the planning process. As soon as the House leadership officially confirms this date, we will so advise.

Also, we have begun to accept requests for tickets to President Obama's inauguration. Our office will be given a limited allotment of tickets to this event, and will be distributing those tickets on a first come, first serve basis to individuals who reside in Congressional District 34. If you live in this congressional district and have any interest in attending this event, I encourage you to contact Sally Lara at 956.544.8352.

Regards and Happy Thanksgiving,
sig
Filemon Vela

  1. Contact Sally Lara? Oh, boy. Already, the head grows in size. Why not "contact me," Filemon?

  2. Cuz Filemon only gives his number to people with MONEY, that is how his Mother raised him. He does NOT and I repeat does NOT have time for what he considers the little people. Those are who he considers the idiots that voted him in. Just wait and see he will serve no one but himself. He and his mother supported Caty Presas-Garcia just to go against Butch Barbosa. Who sells their soul to the Devil just because they get mad at a man who was already committeed to another person before his wild ass deceide to run for office. The Vela's that are living, not the great Judge Vela, are about as bad who they support. They supported Caty Presas-Garcia for BISD; what does that tell you about what type of individuals they really are. SAD!

    Jessica would have been the better choice, by far. I hope she runs again AND WINS!

  5. Someday, there will be a public servant who will write like one of the people, not some here-I-am bureaucrat politician who sees election as some sort of status symbol. You represent the people, Vela! The people put you there and you write this press release as if writing to the gardener. Bastard!!!
