Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will be taking questions online at The Washington Post this afternoon at 3 p.m. as part of her tour promoting her new book, Know Your Power, A Message to America's Daughters.
Washington Post page to submit questions and follow discussion.
The questions are screened by The Post's moderator and those that are forwarded to Pelosi can be passed over by her in private.
The Post blurb says that in addition to the book she'll be talking about "the current political scene."
Have fun, but keep it clean, please.
Could you guys all ping your lists? Let’s spam them to death with energy policy questions.
just sent request for her to get back to DC to vote on drilling! BTT
Dear Madam Speaker;
When are you going to do something about Gas Prices? We don't have time for you to be off on vacation selling your book. Get back to DC and get back to work for the American People.
I sent 2 questions,
Why are you on vacation when so many Americans are suffering with high gas prices, and why are you afraid to allow a vote?
How is drilling for more oil a hoax while inflating yur tires is a solution?
She can read? Nahhhhhhhh.....
Oh, regarding her book. Did she include a chapter on how to get power without marrying a rich husband?
I sent in comment that we are sick of paying high gas prices while they all vacation. tol come back to DC and have a vote-we pay your salary and you work for us! Tend to business!
The question I left:
If 75% of the American people strongly favor an immediate up or down vote on off-shore drilling, and you represent the people, why are you blocking this? Is this ethical?
How can increasing supply through release of the SPR reduce gas prices
while increasing supply through new drilling would not?
FREEP PELOSI ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
I want to know if she plans on suing the Botox manufacturers for the brain damage incurred...
Here are some questions, be sure to re-word them so they don’t know it’s spam. The two Big Lies she’s spewing need to be challenged.
-Madame Speaker, you contend that releasing oil from the SPR would lower prices, but expanding supply through drilling would not. Please explain your logic.
-Madame Speaker, you contend that the oil companies should drill the 68 million acres they’re already leasing. What makes you so certain there’s oil there, and at $120/ bbl, why wouldn’t they be drilling there already if there was?
Well done Sandra! Even for Europeans (used to long summer breaks in politics) this is a strange state of affairs.
BTW are you sure that your reply was meant for me? Even if it wasn’t, I admire your act.
Good one. I'm thinking something like
Mrs. Pelosi, a gallon of gas currently costs almost twice as much as when you took over as Speaker of the House. Would you consider this a failure of leadership?
LOL! But hey... perhaps excessive use of Botox damages the critical faculties in your brain... you tend to forget... your job... your people... you tend to want to travel... to a warm beach resort... take more Botox... Botox is sooooo gooood... you swell... you sleeeeeepppp....zzzzz....zzzz....zzzz....zzzz...
Ping!
And what do she suggest refilling the SPR with?
