House Minority leader did good today in a bleak day for us all
Today was a bleak day for americans as the reghugs in congress passed the bill cutting $54 billion dollars and federal programs that help middle class programs and what it sad is that atleast 9 DEMOCRATS jumped on the republican bandwagon and voted yea on the bill.

But on a good note house minority leader Nancy Pelosi voiced a priviledge in the house for the speaker to crack down on the republican corruption in the house. She brought up how the how the republicans hold open the votes so that in tight votes all republicans can vote, she brought the notroious medicare bill in 2003 that lasted 5 hours. She also brought up how the thugs bully and threaten republicans to vote there way or else, she brought up examples in Randy Cunningham and former Congressman from Michigan Nick Smith and how they were bullied.

And what's pathetic is that while the reading clerk was reading this LONG message about the priviledge, ways and meand chairman Bill Thomas has the nerve to say: "I wasn't paying attention, can she read that again." or course the rule was shot down with one Dem voting nay(got the feeling that it was either matheson or moore)

Nancy did a great job today trying to bring up the repukes corruption in the house.

WAY TO GO NANCY,were all proud of you.
