Stop Nancy Pelosi!
Pelosi Plans $178 Billion Blank Check for Iraq

"Measured in blood and treasure, the war in Iraq has achieved the status of a major war and a major debacle."

That's not from the peace movement - it's from the National Defense University, written by a senior Pentagon official who served under Donald Rumsfeld.

Yet despite the overwhelming opposition of the American people, Speaker Pelosi plans to rush a vote through Congress for another $178 billion blank check.

We must stop this madness. Tell Congress: No More Funds for Iraq
http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/124?ad=d1

Activists around the country are organizing Iraq Town Halls so we can speak directly to our Representatives:

Unfortunately most Representatives are afraid to face us at our Town Halls, so we're organizing May Day Protests outside their District Offices on Thursday, May 1 at noon.

May 1 is the original Labor Day, and several unions are going on strike to protest the Iraq War. It's also "Mission Accomplished Day" (2003) and "Downing Street Minutes Day" (2005). Can you join us?

Thanks for all you do!

1. Me thinks she will not be the Speaker in Obama World
the wave of progressivism might let us pick someone with a backbone and a sense of standing up and not bending over

7. Getting elected to Pelosi's seat
won't make her Speaker. They'll just replace Nancy with another enabler.

11. I agree, but that's not how it works.
The Party decides which of their puppets are the options and We The People have no say in the matter. Remember how we got Pelosi? The alternative was Steny Hoyer, another war mongering, ruling class warrior, that is even worse than Pelosi.

8. In my feeble mind, there are only two possibilities.
Either, as a member of America's royalty, Pelosi is part of the neo-fascist cabal, or, the BFEE Stasi branch has found some real dirt on her in their domestic spying operation and is blackmailing her.

As for Fienstien, she has always been a collaborator and is getting her share of the war profiteering from her defense department contracts.

You can call them all you want. They are NOT listening. The only hope we have is to throw them out and that, given the corporate control of the media and the election process is a slim hope indeed.

14. Democrats can do better
and we should. Get rid of her as leader, she doesn't represent the values of the Democratic party. While we're at it, neither does Reid.
