Pelosi Statement on the June Jobs Report

“Today’s jobs report is a step in the right direction for our workers, our businesses, and our middle class.  Now, we must act to put more people to work, expand our economy, and spur prosperity for all Americans.”
Friday, July 5, 2013
“A peaceful, democratic transition of power and the legitimate election of a new president are essential to ensuring Egypt’s prosperity and enduring stability.”
Wednesday, July 3, 2013
“The vast majority of businesses subject to the law’s responsibility requirement already provide health insurance to their employees.  Indeed, 98 percent of businesses with 200 or more employees and 94 percent of businesses with between 50 and 200 employees already offer coverage.  The Administration is providing these firms simplification in what they have to report.  This change will not affect upcoming enrollment in health insurance marketplaces nor a family’s ability to obtain insurance coverage that fits its needs.”

“To serve alongside Bill Gray was to be inspired by his passion and commitment, by his focus on the future and his belief in the common good.  It was an honor and a privilege to know him as a colleague and a friend.  We only hope it is a comfort to his wife, Andrea, his three sons, and his family and loved ones that so many share in their grief at this sad time.”

Pelosi: Americans Can’t Wait Another 100 Days for Republicans to Deliver a Final Budget

“Hard-working Americans cannot wait another 100 days for House Republicans to do their job.  House Democrats have named budget conferees and are ready to work together to reach an agreement.  It is time for Speaker Boehner to trade in Republican obstruction for an open negotiating process so we can deliver a budget that promotes economic growth, invests in innovation and infrastructure, and reflects the values of the American people.”
Monday, July 1, 2013
“Securing a higher education is no longer a luxury for America’s youth; it is a necessity for economic opportunity and prosperity.  Democrats are ready to work across the aisle to ensure students are not left to foot the bill of Republican obstruction and delay.  We must restore the lower interest rate and secure the success of America by securing the success of America’s students.”
Monday, July 1, 2013
“As the Yarnell fire continues to spread, as wildfires across the Southwest threaten Americans’ homes and communities, we will stand ready to do what we can to assist state and local leaders to battle the blazes, to save lives, to ultimately recover and rebuild.  Our united response and actions will be a fitting memorial to the 19 firefighters who perished in this terrible tragedy.”

a message from Nancy Pelosi


If we continue to stand together, I believe this moment will mark the turning point on the road to a Democratic victory in 2012.

The American people are rejecting the Tea Party Republican agenda that puts tax breaks for the wealthiest people in our country ahead of creating jobs.

Now, it is up to us to seize this moment.

That’s why the looming October 31st FEC fundraising deadline is so critical. This is the last fundraising deadline before the one year out to Election Day marker and House Democrats must have a strong showing.

Please contribute $3 or more to our Million Dollar Match Campaign before October 31st and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of House Democrats.

The world will be watching to see if Democrats can maintain the momentum and exceed our million dollar goal. Our results will be closely scrutinized by the media and political pundits as an indication of our strength and determination to take the fight to the Republicans.

With just 25 seats standing between us and a new Democratic Majority, we can’t wait for tomorrow.

Contribute $3 or more to our Million Dollar Match Campaign before Midnight Monday >>

Let’s stand together for a new direction that places creating jobs over reckless tax breaks for billionaires and Big Oil.

Thank you for your support,

Nancy Pelosi

No Regrets


29 Days Until the Election

I don’t have a crystal ball to predict the future.

I can’t tell you exactly how many seats will be won or lost on Election day. But I can tell you that — with your help — I am confident that Democrats will retain our Majority in Congress. The actions we take this week will make a big difference in the ultimate outcome. That is because, as of today, early voting has started in more than half the states. The next 4 days are essential to our success.

Last week, Republican Leader Boehner pledged $1 million to go after House Democrats in tight races. We must match that million before Friday’s deadline to wire money for next week’s ad buys. We can’t afford to fall behind now.

Please join us and contribute $5, $10 or more today and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by House Democrats.

With so many races being called “toss-ups”, every dollar you give will make a difference. Nobody wants to wake up the day after the election regretting that we didn’t do more. It’s getting down to the wire and we have to pull out all the stops to win.

With just 29 days to go until Election Day, we are making the critical, final decisions about where to deploy our field staff and volunteers, provide air cover for our candidates and invest every last dollar in the closing days of the campaign.

We need to make sure we get our message out and get all our voters to the polls.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to the Early Voter Rapid Response Fund and help us raise $1 Million to support our courageous candidates. This is so critical that if your contribution is received by Midnight Friday it will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of committed Democrats.

Onward to Victory,

Chris Van Hollen

P.S. This is one of the most expensive mid-term campaigns in history. I need your immediate support to fully fund our campaigns. Contribute to the Early Voter Rapid Response Fund and help us raise $1 Million to support our courageous candidates. This is so critical that if your contribution is received by Midnight Friday it will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of committed Democrats.
