Speaker Pelosi in 2010, posing with some of those thousands of roses you guys sent. Lets do it again!
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), lets do something nice for once.
Were 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 its 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 dont have to give much to be part of this fun, positive gesture!

Love our Speaker Pelosi! This has been a great day for Democrats.

(7,584 posts)but right now I have 97 cents in my checking account. Ran out of propane last Saturday so living in very cold house.....trying to be warm with electric heaters that are going to drive my electric bill over the wall and hoping my water pipers and hot water heater don't blow out. Waiting for snow plow as everyone in the east mountains {NM} is snowed in and snow plowers are way behind.
I supported Nancy Pelosi as house speaker and I wish her well even though I can't contribute for roses for her.

Got neighbors? Don't let pride freeze you.
