SNOPES' VALIDATES THE following 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 Del Monte 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' ? ?
How do you spell 'HYPOCRITE' ? ?
WHAT A PIECE OF WORK!
