DailyKOS is doing their Roses for Pelosi fund drive again.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/1/3/1823278/-Join-our-Roses-for-Pelosi-effort-and-thank-our-new-House-Speaker-for-her-incredible-leadership

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!

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.

Keep an eye on those heaters -- don't need an unintentional fire taking more away from you.

Got neighbors? Don't let pride freeze you.
