Welcome to a new year, and a new day in America, having replaced a crazy unpopular speaker of the House with the most successful one!

The year 2019 will be politically tumultuous, with a cornered traitor in the White House more erratic and dangerous than ever, and the inevitable Democratic pie war as our massive 20-something-candidate presidential field shapes up. But before we get to the poo-flinging (both internal and external), let’s do something nice for once.
We’re going to take a page from previous community efforts and welcome Speaker Nancy Pelosi with thousands of roses! If $10 buys three roses, we want to get to 10,000, filling her office with a tangible, physical sign of our deep gratitude and appreciation for her strong leadership of our House caucus.
We have done this before, and it’s always amazing and so much fun! Back in 2010, the Daily Kos community flooded her office with roses as a thanks for passing the Affordable Care Act. Organized completely by you guys, a total of 2,600 roses were sent. Pelosi shared those roses with staff and wounded veterans at Walter Reed hospital.
Click here to join the effort! Each rose is $3.33, so you don’t have to give much to be part of this fun, positive gesture!

In 2004, the community organized a similar effort for Sen. Barbara Boxer, thanking her for strong opposition to the Bush Administration. A picture of some of those roses is at the top of this post. I wish we had done this more often! If you guys are into it, we will.
The Daily Kos community has a history of sending roses to Democrats we love, like Sen. Barbara Boxer back in 2004. Let's do it again, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi!
There’s so much fight in politics, it’s nice to show love to everyone once in a while. So let’s overflow Pelosi’s office with roses, helping make her transition back to House speaker that much sweeter.
