Lunch With Me, and Nancy Pelosi

You are cordially invited to lunch with me, and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. If you're lucky.

Nancy Pelosi is joining us in Orlando next Thursday. We will invite two of our supporters - one from the Orlando area, and one from anywhere in the United States - to join us. We will choose them from among the supporters who contribute $25 or more to our campaign, between now and 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday night. (Or you can you can enter on our website.) If you make two or more qualifying contributions, that will count as two or more entries. We will notify the winners on Tuesday, and help with transportation for the guest from out of town. Void where prohibited, subject to change, blah, blah, blah.

Now, I'm not even going to attempt to get you excited by the prospect of lunch with me. Fuggedaboutit. I think that you should be excited, however, about the possibility of lunch with Leader Pelosi.

First, she is the highest female elected official in our nation's history. That's something.

Second, there was what she did after January 19, 2010. That was the dark date that Scott Brown was elected Senator from Massachusetts, giving the 41 Republicans in the US Senate the right to "outvote" the 59 Democrats. When that happened, there were calls from craven Democrats all over Washington, DC to give up on universal healthcare. But Speaker Pelosi never even entertained the notion of giving up. For her, it was very simple: "The nation needs it." And because of her, more than anyone else, we are finally approaching the time when every American can see a doctor when he or she is sick.

For your chance to meet this living legend, this indomitable force for social justice (remember, I'm talking about Leader Pelosi, not me), click here.
