Americans can't afford anymore of this 'progress.' Christina Bellantoni <http://www.rollcall.com/reporters/29.html> reports, via Roll Call <http://www.rollcall.com/news/-201963-1.html>: Speaker Nancy Pelosi <http://www.rollcall.com/members/35.html> has an outgoing New Year’s Eve wish, asking House campaign supporters to give money to fight back against “shameful attack ads” that use her to target vulnerable Democrats. Even Democrats used attack ads against Nancy to distance themselves from her Botox-face. In a new fundraising letter for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Californian thanks donors for their *“dedication to making change a reality for millions of our fellow Americans,” *without mentioning that Democrats lost control of the House in November and that in less than two weeks, Rep. John Boehner <http://www.rollcall.com/members/379.html>(R-Ohio) will become Speaker. Instead, Pelosi asks donors to *“chip in $10” to combat “shadowy special interest front groups [that] are already up on radio and television with shameful attack ads aimed at reversing the progress we’ve made.” * See the links above for the 'progress' that was made by the Pelosi-led Congress. She doesn’t name the organization, but Pelosi is likely referring to the $400,000 ad buy from American Crossroads in mid-December. The outside group ran radio ads in 12 districts against Democrats who narrowly won re-election last month. The ads linked the Democrats to Pelosi, which proved to be an effective strategy for the GOP in the 2010 cycle<http://www.rollcall.com/news/Groups-Target-Democrats-Pelosi-201473-1.html> . “If Democrats fall behind in these final critical days, we’ll have to spend months playing catch-up while the opponents of progress ring in 2011 with a big head start on their repeal agenda,” Pelosi wrote. Donations before the Friday deadline will be matched *“dollar-for-dollar by a group of generous Democrats,*” she added. The "shadowy Democratic special interest groups" will match donations. See George Soros. Pelosi noted Democratic accomplishments such as health care reform and financial regulatory reform and said special interests are aiming to roll back those measures. This 'accomplishments' have been rejected by the voters. The health care takeover (ObamaCare) was pushed through by the Pelosi-led Congress without a single Democrat taking the time to read the bill. Now the majority wants the bill repealed. The financial reform doesn't protect taxpayers from another financial crisis and still doesn't regulate Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae who helped begin the financial crisis with their toxic assets. “In the year ahead, we will make critical decisions about the challenges we face that will shape the lives of our children and grandchildren for decades to come. *I will not stop fighting to protect the progress we have made,”*Pelosi wrote. “Together we’re going to make this happen.” Add a comment to this post<http://scottystarnes.wordpress.com/2010/12/29/pelosi-fundraising-to-%e2%80%98protect-the-progress-we-have-made%e2%80%99/#respond> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/15053/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/15053/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gofacebook/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/15053/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gotwitter/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/15053/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/15053/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/15053/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/15053/> [image: WordPress] WordPress.com <http://wordpress.com/> | Thanks for flying with WordPress!
