Pelosi Chooses Book Tour Over Duty

The Puckett for Congress campaign issued the below press release today as the Democrat do-nothing Congress heads home for the August recess.

South Bend, IN-Congress is slated to begin its summer recess at the conclusion of work today. During the recess Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) will be conducting a book tour for her new book titled “Know Your Power, A Message to America’s Daughters.”

Since its release on Tuesday, the book has been anything but a best seller with Amazon.com ranking its position in overall sales at 1,457 as of Friday morning. The book’s price on Amazon.com is $16.29.

“While I’m glad to see that Speaker Pelosi has written a book about some of her observations and experiences, it is unfortunate that she has presided over a do-nothing Congress that has earned the lowest approval rating in history,” declared Luke Puckett, the Republican candidate for Congress in Indiana’s 2nd District.

“It may be,” continued Puckett, “that the low initial books sales are the result of a desire on the part of the American people to use the money from the $16.29 price of the book to buy four gallons of gas so they can drive to work or go to the grocery store.”

Note: Some highly determined House Republicansare executing a dramatic-and potentially historic-maneuver this afternoon by staying on the House floor even after the recess to protest the Democrat’s failure to pass energy reform legislation that allows us to drill for our own oil.
