Get Pelosi Back (from dKos)

[elleng]

Democrats suffered serious losses on Tuesday, but no one was hit harder than the corporatist Blue Dogs. Over half their members are gone. Apparently, being the GOP's best friends on issue after issue wasn't the political winner they claimed it was.


But getting drubbed hasn't made the Blue Dogs humble. Now, they have Nancy Pelosi in their sights, demanding she step down as Democratic leader in the House. The Blue Dogs want to replace her with one of their own, so they can deliver our entire party to Wall Street.


Don't let the Blue Dogs take over. Sign the petition letting Nancy Pelosi know she has your support as Democratic leader in the House.


Pelosi will decide whether to run for House Minority Leader within the next week, so she needs to hear from her supporters ASAP. At Daily Kos, we will deliver your signatures to her personally, so she knows you've got her back.


Pelosi led Democrats to historic victories in 2006 and 2008. We are confident she can reclaim her gavel in 2012. But to do so, she first has to ward off the Blue Dog threat.


Sign the petition showing your support for Nancy Pelosi. The fight for 2012 begins NOW.


Friggin' Blue Dogs,

2. didn't the House also pass a lot of progressive legis., only to be stymied in the Senate?

She should get credit for that.

3. As Michael Moore said....

get that progressive legislation already passed in the House and push it through the Senate...make the repugnants vote no against a law to protect elderly from abuse. He's right. Take this Lame Duck session and shove it down the repugnants throats. Make 'em choke on Progressive Legislation.

Alas...given obama's pathetic and weak stance the day after the Election, I doubt it will happen.

6. I agree with him. Sounds like a good strategy.

5. Yes, huge amounts, sitting and waiting on Senate's 'desk.'

What an awfully frustrating position she's been in, eh? Sweats bullets thru her chamber, and then NOTHING! Oh the books she could write.

Maybe DU should send her flowers??? Waddya think?
