Incumbent
In office since
January 4, 2007
American women have been waiting for this for over 200 years, and I hope Speaker Pelosi will be welcomed by men, as well.
Nancy Pelosi is hoping to start off big with her "100 Hours Agenda," the first step towards larger changes. The proposals are progressive, including cutting oil subsidies to invest in clean energy, getting cheaper prescription drugs for seniors, and raising the minimum wage. Corporate lobbyists--the big drug companies, oil companies, and business lobbies--are already working hard to defeat the agenda, and we need to show where the American people stand. Please add your name to MoveOn.org's petition calling on Congress to pass the 100 Hours Agenda.
Here's a brief summary of the 100 Hour Agenda package:
Good Government: Cutting off lobbyist gifts and restoring fairness and transparency in the way laws are passed
Fiscal Responsibility: Stop recklessly driving up the national debt
National Security: Implement all of the 9/11 Commission security recommendations
Fighting Poverty: Increase minimum wage to $7.25 an hour, helping 15 million working families
Health Research: Increased funding and availability for stem cell research
Affordable Health Care: Negotiate for lower prices on prescription drugs, passing savings on to seniors
Education Access: Cut interest on federal student loans in half
Clean Energy: Cut oil company subsidies and invest in safe alternativesPass the First 100 Hours Agenda
Hey, it looks like somebody cares about us! How refreshing. But where is Iraq in the plan? MoveOn.org states, "Later this month, we'll organize local meetings with our representatives, urging them to take on the really big issues that Americans care most about, like health care for all, clean energy and Iraq. Stay tuned for more details."
