What will Nancy Pelosi do to the Freshman Democrats?
Freshman Dems oppose Pelosi’s tax increase
Twenty-one freshman Democratic House members have signed a letter opposing their leadership’s plan to raise taxes to finance a healthcare overhaul.
Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) circulated the letter, saying that the income surtax on the wealthy would place an undue burden on small businesses, some of which pay taxes in the same way as an individual. The letter had 22 signers, all freshmen except for Rep. Paul Hodes (D-N.H.), who is in his second term.

If they have any guts they won’t care. There is such a thing as principles and we need more of it in Congress.
