Nancy Pelosi {The Pelosi Family Bail Out) .
SNOPES VALIDATES THESE 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 Star-Kist
stock in the amount or $17 million dollars.
.
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 hypocrisy??
