My email to Nancy Pelosi regarding going to a party at the home of a UnitedHealth lobbyist.

[Eric J in MN]

I was disappointed to read that you accepted an invitation to a fundraising party which would take place at the home of Steve Elmendorf on September 24.

There is a conflict-of-interest in negotiating about the public option while your calendar includes a party at the home of a lobbyist for UnitedHealth.

Please cancel your plans to attend the party of this lobbyist.

Feel free to use some of my words if you write her at:

or phone her office at:

1. she didn't give a rat's ass when her constituents were camped out in front of her house

so I don't figure she'll care much about the blowback from her obvious ethical lapse. It's not her first, and won't be her last.

3. What should we do? NT

2. Do you really truly think Di Fi's protege would care...

Jes as Senator Feinstein voted in the IWR and then watched from the sidelines as her hubby made 27 million in contracts from that war's activities (And almost before the ink was dry on the Senate legislation!) why wouldn't Pelosi stumble forward to receive as much as she can from UnitedHealth Care?

5. We can't stop her from going to a party by a corporate lobbyist, but we can...

...let her people know how we feel about it.

4. Don't let cynicism (deserved or not) pull you into non-action

Send the fucking email..I did.
