Other than being for spending and against cutting taxes, she mainly seems to speak on honoring this and celebrating that. She doesn't seem to do much of anything.
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi Pays Tribute to Lowell Selvin
April 26, 2001
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a unique individual who is a champion for social justice, a leader in his community, and a trailblazer in the business world.
Lowell Selvin proves time and again, through his words and deeds, that one person can truly make a difference. On May 5, 2001, Congregation Kol Ami of Los Angeles will honor Lowell with its Shomer Tzedek (Guardian of Justice) Award for his untiring commitment to progressive social empowerment and to causes greater than himself.
While the many endeavors Lowell Selvin is involved in are far too numerous to mention, a few highlights help illustrate the vision, energy, and compassion of this remarkable man.
In business, after successfully merging and integrating PlanetOut and Gay.com, Lowell became Chief Executive Officer of PlanetOut Partners, the largest gay and lesbian online services company in the world. In this capacity, Lowell uses his two decades of business acumen, honed by advising some of America's leading corporations, to provide the LGBT community with a platform to network, grow, and conduct commerce with business partners around the world.
In his community, Lowell is on the board of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center and guided this groundbreaking agency's strategic planning process in its formative years. With his help, this organization is now the largest agency of its kind in the world.
Lowell is on the National Advisory Board of Wendy's Hope, a group devoted to supporting lesbians with cancer. Working in collaboration with Feed the Children, Lowell also founded Arbonne Children's Trust. In addition, he helped found Congregation Kol Ami.
It is my honor to recognize the achievements of my constituent, Lowell Selvin, and to join with Congregation Kol Ami in acknowledging his contributions and on-going commitment to social justice and the betterment of his community.

Now, from the face of it, I don't have any problem with this guy, although I don't know if merging two gay businesses is particularly worthy of praise (and generally businessmen get nothing but grief for mergers from Dems), and I don't know if cancer patients who happen to be lesbians need separate charities (although I could be convinced otherwise if, say, major cancer charities were intolerant of their lesbian patients).
