Pelosi: Nobody Goes Home Saturday!

Go, Speaker Pelosi!

November 04, 2009

Pelosi: Nobody goes home Saturday!

Memo, passed along from a House Dem source:

Committee Staff Directors/Chief of Staff:

As you know, we are anticipating floor votes on the health care legislation this weekend. Please note that all Members must be present for these votes. All approved travel, regardless of whether via military or commercial aircraft, is contingent on final action on the health care legislation. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your cooperation.

John Lawrence
Chief of Staff
Speaker Nancy Pelosi

6. I bet "approved travel" means "compensated."

So if they want to fly anywhere, THEY have to pay for it. ..... No First Class seats comped at Business class prices. And of course, they won't want to do that.

8. I'm fed up with Pelosi; I am fed up with Harry. I

am sick of their stringing us along trying to keep us with them and they don't do anything. How long have they been "studying" the health care problem? I know the protocol doesn't allow for bad language in the halls of liberty but why don't they kick the Republican asses out of there and shame them for trying to hurt the American people? Do they all believe in the "Devine right of Congress people?" I no longer watch t.v. programs except for Bones and HGTV. Maybe Food network sometimes. I am too damn old to believe in all this B.S. anymore. How I would love to stand up in the Senate and House and read all of them the riot act.

13. Speaker Pelosi Has Really Been on Fire the Past Several Months

The Republicans made a big mistake (IMHO) by going after her on the torture issue in the spring which of course they were lying about. She got mad and you do not want to make her mad as she doesn't forget...
