Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California, current Speaker of the House

Here  is some information on how some leaders use their  positions for personal benefit at our  expense.


Newt  Gingrich, a Republican, served in the House from Georgia  from 1978 and as House Minority Whip in 1989. He was  Speaker of the House from 1995 to 1999. During that time  he never made use of military air craft.

Nancy  Pelosi, Democrat from California, current Speaker of the  House.? The Pentagon provides the House speaker with an  Air Force plane large enough to accommodate her staff,  family, supporters, and members of the California  delegation when she travels around the country. But,  Pelosi wants routine access to a larger plane. It includes  42 business class seats, a fully-enclosed state room, an  entertainment center, a private bed, state-of-the-art  communications system, and a crew of 16. Pelosi wanted  ”carte blanche for an aircraft any time,” including  weekend trips home to San Francisco . Pretty nice but very  expensive perk! Her Air Force C-32 costs approximately  $15,000 an hour or approximately $300,000 per trip home.



And  she has the guts to confront the Big Three CEOs for flying  their corporate jets to Washington  !

YOU  WOULD THINK, SHE ALONG WITH A HUSBAND WORTH AN ESTIMATED  BILLION DOLLARS, WOULD LEASE OR BUY AND FLY THEIR OWN  PLANE.???????????????????

NANCY  PELOSI FACTS:

Speaker of the  House Nancy Pelosi’s home district includes San Francisco  . Star-Kist Tuna’s headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi’s home district. Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte  Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi. Star-Kist is  the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the  Samoan workforce. Paul Pelosi, Nancy ‘s husband, owns $17  million dollars of Star-Kist stock. In January, 2007 when  the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi  had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte  would not have to pay the higher wage.  This would  make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition’s. Last week when the huge bailout bill was  passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding  $33 million dollars for an ‘economic development credit in  American Samoa ‘. Pelosi has called the Bush  Administration “CORRUPT”??

How do you spell “HYPOCRISY”??  EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD SEE THIS. IT IS ENOUGH TO  MAKE A HOLY PERSON ANGRY ENOUGH TO GO THROW THEM ALL  OUT ON THEIR BEHINDS.
