Democrats.com has its first winner in the Pelosi Video Contest! Congratulations to Anthony from We Are Change Ohio for his outstanding effort to get an answer from Speaker Pelosi! Andrew writes:



I confronted Nancy Pelosi with the full articles of Impeachment. The crimes were highlighted. I have the full details of the confrontation in my video.



It was extremely difficult to not only record the confrontation fully, but also to bring her the articles because security wasn’t allowing any cameras or allowing anyone to bring anything to her other than her book. So I literally had to sneak all this by.

I maintained integrity by remaining polite and trying to get a response out of her without getting aggressive like other have been. I kept my confrontation on the point and not only did I confront her with this but I got two responses.

I got her to admit that she hasn’t read the articles of impeachment and when I mentioned that all the crimes that Bush has done like eviscerating the Constitution she replied “that’s terrible”.

Unfortunately I was only able to get audio but I still have the footage in its original form on my camera intact. I hope this is the answer you folks were looking for and I did my best. She hasn’t read the articles of impeachment and the crimes listed in the articles are “terrible” according to her.

Bob Fertik, President of Democrats.com said: “Pelosi Video Contest remains open so we encourage everyone to keep trying to get a substantive answer from Pelosi to our question: Of the 36 detailed Articles of Impeachment introduced by Dennis Kucinich, do you consider any to be crimes? If yes, which? If no, why not – and what (if anything) would you consider an impeachable offense?”
