Nancy Pelosi

[Mojorabbit]

I received this email from the NRCC. How I got on their mailing list is a mystery.

Dear Friend:

Happy New Year!

I would like to take a moment to introduce myself as the new Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). I am blessed to be returning to Congress for my seventh term to continue representing the good people of the 32nd District of Texas. In addition to this great privilege, I was elected to head the NRCC this cycle.

My goal...win at least 218 seats on November 2, 2010.

How, you may ask, do I intend to do this? My plan is simple. But, I cannot do this alone. I need you. The Republican Party needs you. And most importantly America needs you.

Friend, a donation of $25, $50 or $100 will help us lay the groundwork to take back the House of Representatives and give power back to the people. It is with your contribution of time and money that we can expose the Democrat majority's hypocrisy and educate the public about their activities, both legislatively and politically.

* Will you stand with me to end Pelosi's reign as Speaker?

Nancy Pelosi's first act of the 111th Congress removed term-limits for Committee Chairman and abolished the rights of the minority party to have any voice in crafting legislation. These rules were instituted by Republicans to guard against unchecked power by Committee Chairman and to ensure the rights of the minority party.

* Will you stand with me? Together we can win back the House.

Democrats came to power promising bipartisanship and an open, honest and ethical Congress. Yet, their new plans allow Members such as Charlie Rangel to remain the Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means – even as he battles his own tax problems, while Chairman George Miller continues to push for the elimination of the secret ballot for union workers as the head of the Education and Labor Committee. And donnt even get me started on Chairmen Frank and Conyers.

* Will you stand with me against unchecked power?

Stripping the minority party of its ability to affect legislation will disenfranchise millions of Americans who are represented by Republicans...their voices will be silenced. Plain and simple, this is taxation without representation...the very reason for our country's foundation.

* Will you stand with me to champion American values and protect the rights of those represented by Republicans?

We cannot stand for this!

Friend, that is why your contribution is imperative to taking back our country and ensuring your voice is heard in the legislative process. A donation of $25, $50 or $100 is a contribution for your future. It will help me recruit top-tier candidates to take the fight to the Democrats. It will allow us to alert the country to the Democrats' backroom dealings. But most importantly, it will help us restore American values and traditions to the House of Representatives.

Please donate today. Together we can take back the House.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,


Pete Session, M.C.
Chairman

P.S. Two years ago, newly minted Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised to take America in a "New Direction" and said she would work across the aisle "for fiscal responsibility, with the highest ethical standards and with civility and bipartisanship" - let's hold her accountable for her broken promises.

1. The House Republicans were so inclusive when they were in power.

Democrats "abolished the rights of the minority party to have any voice in crafting legislation."

Yeah, right.

When they were in power, Repubicans rushed through legislation which Congress members didn't have time to read.

Now Nancy Pelosi does the same thing.

We need a law putting a delay of at least 15 days between the text of legislation which will be voted on being posted to the internet, and the vote.

2. Yes

the hypocrisy was particularly striking.
She is not popular on either side of the aisle it seems.

3. That means she is doing a good job.

:sarcasm:

Both Nancy & Read need to be replaced with people that will do what's best for this country and not bow to the hypocrites that have been supporting the criminals for the last 40+ years.
