No Coffee Next Week
I am afraid, for the first time in a year and a half, I am going to have to cancel next weekend's "Coffee with Cleaver." This would have been our 19th month in a row of coming to your neighborhoods to talk through the issues of the day. My apologies.

Speaker Pelosi has asked me to join her on a trip to Greenland, Brussels and Great Britain, where we will meet with the new Prime Minister. It is an honor to be asked to represent the Congress on this trip and I am anxious to see first hand the receding ice sheet in Greenland.
