Pelosi Speech at Take Back America 2006 Conference

[im10ashus]

"Good morning. Thank you, Bob Borosage, and thanks to all of you who have come here to Washington, D.C. to take back America for the American people.

"Are you ready to take America in a new direction? I thought so. Have you had enough? Have you had enough of a war that is failing to make America more secure? Have you had enough of burdening our children and grandchildren with billions in debt to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy? Have you had enough of paying higher prices for gasoline and prescription drugs in order to increase the profits of pharmaceutical and oil companies? Have you had enough of seeing America led in the wrong direction? I thought so.

"Enough about the Republicans; let's talk about the Democrats. Democrats stand united today -- perhaps more than ever before -- in our belief that we must take America in a new direction. Yesterday, you laid out an impressive agenda for the common good. And, over these three days, you are focusing on innovative ideas for solutions to critical challenges, from energy independence to health care and national security. On behalf of the House Democrats, I want to salute the Campaign for America's Future and Bob Borosage for his great leadership, and thank you all for what you are doing

"Tomorrow, House and Senate Democrats are coming together to present a new direction for America. It's a new direction that benefits all Americans, not just the privileged few. A new direction to help America's families overcome day-to-day challenges from jobs to health care, from education to retirement.

4. interesting

Dennis Kucinich rocked the first 'take back America' conference and now he doesn't even get invited to speak? Instead we get Nancy Pelosi? She is one of the people we need to take America back from. Three years later she cannot even pull the democrats together to make a strong stand against the war, against illegal wiretapping, against anything. She even asked the dems to boycott the Katrina hearings and then didn't make it an issue or anything. The Katrina victims felt abandoned. Only Cynthia McKinney showed up. sad.

9. Tears to my eyes. Listening to them talk is better than reading, IMO.

I love websites that provide at least audio.
