Democratic Leader Pelosi is behaving in inexplicable ways for someone who wants to lead the Democratic Caucus:
1) Congresswoman Pelosi is supporting the regulation of blogs (and by extension any form of online activism or reporting) under the campaign finance laws. No other media outlet is regulated. It's astonishing that she would do this, given that blogs are one of the few places that there is a strong pro-Democrat pro-liberal message, and that the blogs have gone to bat for Pelosi over and over again.
2) Congresswoman Pelosi is criticizing Senator Feingold's proposal to censure George Bush for breaking the law by wiretapping American citizens without a warrant. This is an issue which (a) has a tremendous amount of support from the Democratic base, (b) has a plurality of support from the American people in general, and (c) is simply not in her scope of responsibility.
If you live in SF, Nancy Pelosi answers to you. Call her offices today. (Try to be nice. The staffer is probably just as frustrated as you are.)
