Yeah, because whenever I think of the terms "good government" or "government reform" a picture of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi immeadiately pops to mind.

That's some serious optimism delusion on her part. I don't know about other states but here in Michigan it doesn't even look like the democrats are even putting up serious challenges for new house seats. They're just trying to hag on to the ones they have.

Nancy’s ultimate goal is to remain in congress until she looks like Helen Thomas.

"amend the constitution to overturn Citizens United,

So Nutjob Nancy believes the communist agenda donks can amend the Constitution in one day.

One. Day.

Lets see...

Article V of the Constitution outlines how to amend (modify) the document. It consists of two steps: proposal and ratification.

1. Propose An Amendment
Either Congress or the States can propose an amendment ot the Constitution.
Both Houses of Congress must propose the amendment with a two-thirds vote. This is how all current amendments have been offered.
Two-thirds of the State legislatures must call on Congress to hold a Constitutional Convention.

2. Ratify An Admendment
Regardless of how the amendment is proposed, it must be ratified by the States.
Three-fourths of the State legislatures must approve of the amendment proposed by Congress, or Three-fourths of the states must approve the amendment via ratifying conventions. This method has only been used once, to repeal Prohibition (21st Amendment).

Is there a timeline for ratification? The US Supreme Court has held that ratification must happen within "some reasonable time after the proposal." Since the 18th Amendment, Congress has set a term of seven years for ratification.





But Nutjob Nancy can, with her magic wand and rainbow fairy dust, can make it happen in one day.

She needs a brand new white "dinner jacket" and a snappy new "ankle bracelet."

Even if Obama wins, he’s not going to have any coattails. Dream on, Nancy.

Nancy as head of the House is just as scary as Obama’s second term.

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has dreamed up quite a busy first day for her return to the Speaker's podium.

Nancy, you're dreaming while you are awake -- it is giving me NIGHTMARES!!!

We would "amend the constitution to overturn Citizens United, reform the whole money in politics to take it to public financing of campaigns, and elect -- and I don't care if they're Democrats or Republicans -- elect reformers to save our democracy. Keeping it the government of the many not the government of the money."

Translation: the Dems want it mandatory that any support of a candidate be traceable to individuals who can be harassed and ruined by Dem activists.

Cases in point, the harassment inflicted on people whose names were on the California marriage petition, the harassment given Chick-fil-A, etc.
