House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has taken a vacation from the US energy crisis to address a real crisis of her own: salvaging the abysmal sales of her flopped book “Know Your Power.” Pelosi, a Catholic who remains publicly antagonistic to her Church on faith and morals, has selected Dominican University of California as a prime spot to tout her opus, which has received as much enthusiasm from the US public as gasoline at four dollars a gallon.
Dominican University, which represents itself as “an independent, international, learner-centered university of Catholic heritage” will host “An Evening with Nancy Pelosi” on August 12 in its Angelico Concert Hall from 7-9 PM as part of its Leadership Lecture Series. Pelosi will speak about her book, which she calls a “message to America’s daughters.”
Pelosi seems to have overestimated her popular appeal as sales of “Know Your Power: A Message to America’s Daughters“, was ranked a dismal 4700th in sales on Amazon.com as of press time. Last week the Drudge Report reported Pelosi’s book sold a dismal 2737 books and ranked #41 on Nielsen Bookscan’s Non-Fiction Chart in its first week, far below the first high profile anti-Obama book, “Obama Nation,” which debuted #1 on both the BOOKSCAN and the NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller List.
However as Pelosi sends her message to America’s daughters about knowing their power, her other message to America’s people about the importance of energy relief, she is sending an additional message to America’s Catholic Church about knowing their place.
The Speaker, a proud abortion advocate who continues to be allowed to receive Holy Communion despite a Vatican directive saying Catholic pro-abortion politicians must be denied the Eucharist, recently revealed she will work to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a federal law that prevents homosexual couples “married” in other states from suing and forcing other states to repudiate their bans on homosexual “marriage.”
Pelosi said in a CSPAN interview that she was thankful neither Archbishop Niederauer of San Franscisco nor Archbishop Weurl of Washington, D.C. had threatened to forbid her from receiving communion over her consistent pro-abortion actions and statements.
Calls and emails made to Dominican about inviting Pelosi despite her abortion stance were not returned by press time.
Speaker Pelosi’s last book stop in Ann Arbor, Michigan was met by three dozen protestors angry over her decision to force the House to take a five week vacation instead of acting to address the energy crisis. A cadre of House Republicans, however, have continued to remain in Washington to protest, apparently bringing in more vacationers to watch their protest in the Congressional chambers than the Speaker can sell books.
So far an anti-war group has planned a protest outside Dominican’s Angelico Hall saying they will protest outside for free instead of paying the $35 fee to see the Speaker and get a “free book.”
