>> Here's the email I received:
>
>> Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California, current Speaker of the
>> House. The Pentagon provides the House speaker with an Air Force plane
>> large enough to accommodate her staff, family, supporters, and members
>> of the California delegation when she travels around the country.
>> But, Pelosi wants routine access to a larger plane. It includes 42
>> business class seats, a fully-enclosed state room, an entertainment
>> center, a private bed, state-of-the-art communications system, and a
>> crew of 16. Pelosi wanted "carte blanche for an aircraft any time,"
>> including weekend trips home to San Francisco . Pretty nice but very
>> expensive perk! Her Air Force C-32 costs approximately $15,000 an
>> hour or approximately $300,000 per trip home.
>
>> And she has the guts to confront the Big Three CEOs for flying their
>> corporate jets to Washington !
>
>> YOU WOULD THINK, SHE ALONG WITH A HUSBAND WORTH AN ESTIMATED BILLION
>> DOLLARS, WOULD LEASE OR BUY AND FLY THEIR OWN PLANE, OR FLY FIRST
>> CLASS ON COMMERCIAL AIRLINES LIKE OTHER RICH PEOPLE.

>> NANCY PELOSI FACTS:
>
>> * Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home district includes San
>> Francisco ..
>
>> * Star-Kist Tuna's headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi's home
>> district.
>
>> * Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to
>> Pelosi.
>
>> * Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of
>> the Samoan workforce.
>
>> * Paul Pelosi, Nancy 's husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-
>> Kist stock.
>
>> * In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to
>> $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa
>> exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the
>> higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than
>> their competition's.
>
>> * Last week when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an
>> earmark to the final bill adding $33
>> million dollars for an 'economic development credit in American
>> Samoa .. '
>
>> * Pelosi has called the Bush Administration "CORRUPT" ? ?
