Wondering why it seems that Democrats, now in the majority, don't have the same success as the Republicans did in getting laws passed?
Curious about why the successes we saw in the first 100 days of the Democratic Congress didn't seem to continue?
Like to know what we can do as informed citizens to push forward a progressive and successful agenda?
Let's Ask Nancy.
Join us in Austin in 3 weeks and hear what Leader Pelosi has to say about the state of Congress and get a chance to ask the stories behind the headlines.
From the great folks at Netroots Nation:
Speaker Pelosi will be attending Netroots Nation, will you?
One of Netroots Nation's goals is to facilitate in-person interaction between our political leaders and the progressive community.
So we're thrilled to announce that Speaker Nancy Pelosi will join us in Austin for a Saturday morning keynote session: "Ask the Speaker."
This won't just be any keynote. Speaker Pelosi wants to hear from you. Instead of simply giving a speech at a podium, the Speaker will be taking your questions and interacting with convention attendees....
The event empowers citizens to engage America's current House leader in substantive discussion about current issues, the legislative process, and how citizens can participate in their government.
The 9 a.m. keynote will be moderated by Gina Cooper, Netroots Nation's Executive Director.
Having been to the previous two, I am just as excited as ever for Austin. Events like this promise to make it another spectacular event.
So, what question would you ask the Speaker?
