Thank you for your interest in attending the Inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America on Tuesday, January 20, 2009. I will be retired from the United States Congress, effective at Noon on Friday, January 2, 2009. As a result, I will not have tickets to provide for the Inauguration.
Member of Congress
