Speaker of the House, our own Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi held her annual New Year's celebration at Delancey Street yesterday.
As always, many, many loyal Pelosi people showed up to hear Nancy Pelosi wish us a Happy New Year and give us an update on what was happening in Washington D.C.
Congresswoman Pelosi talked about President-Elect Barack Obama's first stop was to come to her office to talk about the Economic Recovery Package. The first item passed in the Congress was the Pay Equity Act. She said "get use to success". She repeated over and over again "We need action now". She said that Obama was brilliant, he has a vision and he knows how to influence people . She wants to end the war in Iraq and her last remark was she wanted to help reverse Yes on Prop 8 in California.
I was pleased to hear that Speaker Pelosi had appointed LeRoy King to cast her vote in the Electoral College in Sacramento for President-Elect Barack Obama. What an honor- LeRoy is on his way to Washington D.C for the Inauguration!
