President Barack Obama

"I think Nancy Pelosi, when the history is written, will go down as one of the most effective legislative leaders that this country's ever seen"

Thank you @SpeakerPelosi & congratulations!
Speaker Pelosi's legislative successes are legendary.

The House ACA passed in 2009 by Pelosi had a public option.

The 2009 Cap & Trade passed by Pelosi addressed climate change - in 2009.

Pelosi looks to our future & knows how to bring our diverse coalition together
Investment grows the economy -

A Simple Equation: More Education = More Income = More Revenue for the Treasury

Speaker Nancy Pelosi explaining the Republicans' disastrous tax cuts & budget that don't promote growth or our values

She gets it
When Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House the 1st time, she even whipped Newt Gingrich into speaking out on climate change.

She passed the 1st legislation to protect against climate change

One goal - improve life & opportunities for all people
Rachel Maddow on Speaker Nancy Pelosi - she is “an incredibly effective, principled politician who has a track record that you’d stack up against anybody else in the past 50 years. She’s an icon, and she will go down in history as a legend” http://bit.ly/3cozFGj 
Take 2:20 and listen to @SpeakerPelosi in 1988. Just like today, she was working for the people on issues that matter to us: healthcare, raising minimum wage, protecting the environment, child care ...

Her only goal - help the people
2:20 isn't enough

More of @SpeakerPelosi from 1998 fighting for peace, human rights, protection of refugees

Too many have been tricked by slick campaign ads into feeling negative about Nancy Pelosi.

Do your homework.

She is a true public servant
And watch this.

1987

@SpeakerPelosi had been in Congress 3 months. Unlike other members of Congress, Pelosi marched for gay rights

This builds up loyalty & trust.

She knows us. She took personal risk for us. She has our backs.
2009 @SpeakerPelosi passed healthcare WITH A PUBLIC OPTION

"The bill includes fundamental changes ... creating a public health insurance option to compete with private insurers & for the first time, requiring employers to offer health insurance" https://www.politico.com/story/2009/11/house-passes-historic-health-bill-029282
Equal Pay, climate, public option, LGBTQ rights, child care, ADA, Don't Ask, Don't Tell, climate change, the public option - all passed by @SpeakerPelosi

But some times the Senate couldn't find the votes

She wanted single payer or the public option
Nancy Pelosi delivers the votes: Clean Energy & Sec Act, Wall St reforms, Student Aid & Fiscal Respon Act, ACA, Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay, hate crimes leg, repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

Unlike quitter Ryan, tanning queen Boner or child molester Hastert, she is effective
