Time to Tell Nancy

An open letter to Nancy Pelosi

So Nancy Pelosi is playing nice today!

Nancy, Nancy,

Let's look at the campaigns and the elections (as flawed as the counting was). The Democratic Party was chosen by the people. They were chosen to reverse the mistakes of this theocratic, corporatist cabal that has had control of our country for too long.

The people are hurting. They are loosing their jobs and their houses. They are maxed out on their credit cards and the value of their homes has just gotten the freeze, so they cannot use that value to rid themselves of the horrendous interest rates on those cards. Many cannot go to the doctor or purchase needed medications.

The people want to stop the hemmorraging of blood and lives in Iraq. They also want to stop the hemmorraging of money in the pit of Iraq.

Yes, I know you want to pass the 100 hours agenda. But if you do it by playing meek and mild, the people will be angry. They know that there is passion in Washington, but for the most recent past, that passion has been for individual aggrandisement and fear for the self of individual legislators. We the people elected Democrats who would be passionate for a progressive agenda; passionate for sending Iraq to the garbage pile of horrendous errors made by selfish power hungry, money hungry individuals and companies, passionate for doing all the items on your list, passionate for healthcare for all people who live here, passionate for thoroughly studying the immigration issue and coming up with solutions that will be fair for everyone, passionate for taking care of those most hurt by this debacle in Iraq, the Veterans of the invasion and their families, and passionate that all the people's choices in elections be counted fairly and accurately.

Please, Nancy, listen to us. We are not the enemy. We are your people. We elected you. Support our needs.
