Subject: All Hail Queen Nancy's 757

Perhaps posted previously

REMEMBER THIS IN THE 2010 MID TERM ELECTIONS!!!!

All Hail Queen Nancy's 757

The Jet is a USAF Boeing 757.

*And they STILL want to talk about Sarah's clothing??

People,..... Are you out there?

*MADAME PELOSI*

Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the small private jet that comes with the Speaker's job... No, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200 seat jet that could get her back to California without stopping!

Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone what Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American Taxpayers, for the thousands of gallons of fuel every week.

Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California, cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000 one way!

As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday Night.'
Cost to us is another $60,000. Folks, that is
$480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers of $5,760,000.No wonder she complains about the cost of this war...it might cramp her style and she is styling, on my back and yours.

I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country, keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.

Madame Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint. She wants us to buy smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires.

These people are nuts.

If you think this is outrageous, forward it to all those on your email list!

Keep in mind the figures above do
NOT include cost of plane or crew, just fuel!

One wonders what her total package cost us?
And she wants to tax OUR Ira's & 401K's.....

YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS IN ANY NEWSPAPERS IN THE COUNTRY! THEY HAVE NO GUTS - THEY WOULD RATHER SEE PEOPLE STARVING THAN REPORT ON THE MONSTER THAT IS NANCY PELOSI!

A dose of vitamin Plumbum would cure her and save us from her lavish spending.

The Democratic House speaker normally flies in a 12-seat Air Force jet, just as her Republican predecessor did. This rumor stems from a request by the House sergeant at arms, not Pelosi, for a jet large enough to reach California without refueling.
Honestly, this ranks up there with the tin-foil hat wearers worrying about Obama's birth certificate.

How did Pelosi rise to this position. I've never heard of her till she became SoH.

Did she get hold of a Madams client list ?

I would say the same thing about the past Speakers of the House. Other than Newton, who remembers the Speaker of the House? Or what they did prior??

Prior to Newton, I can't remember any Speaker getting much press or attention.

Oh come on guys, you are frustrating me. I can't remember a SINGLE chainmail that was presented here that contained truth. Why do people keep posting them? Don't we ever learn?

Maybe, but since when do Sergeants at Arms get into the jet requesting business for members of Congress?

Since 9/11 when the security duties of the job were extended to include the Speakers travel.

Nope not one shred of truth there... none...

I agree about the chain emails, I rarely get them and when I do they get deleted.

But the fact of the matter is that Princess Pelosi did request this jet along with others.

See the learjet liberal thread.

I haven't seen anything written to that effect but let me ask Platapus another question, who hires the Congressional Sergeant at Arms?

Default If our elected officals,would stop spending our money on themselves

We will never get out of the hole they have dug, For future generations. I will post here in the chain mail thread, another voted into law Congressional retirement plan that puts social security for the shame. When will they put there panties on one leg at a time ? Such greed !


Subject: Your Social Security

--- LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE INTERNET.HENCEFORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS.





IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!


KEEP IT GOING!!!!



Propose this in 2009:



START A BILL TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY




----------------------------------



SOCIAL SECURITY:



(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)



Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.



Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.



You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for themselves.. So, many years ago they voted in theirown benefit plan.



In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.



For all practical purposes their plan works like this:



When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.
Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments...



For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7, 800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275,000.00 during the last years of their lives.
This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.



Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.



Their cost for this excellent plan is$0.00. NADA!!! ZILCH!!!



This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them.You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;



"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!



From our own Social Security Plan,which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we retire(which amount is matched by our employer), We can expect to get an average of
$1,000 per month after retirement.



Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's benefits!



Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.



That change would be to



Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen.. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us



Then sit back.....



And see how fast they would fix it!



If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.




How many people can YOU send this to?



Better yet......



How many peopleWILL you send this to?
