PELOSI....... "SNOPES" VALIDATES THE BELOW

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 work force.

Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.

In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase. This makes 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" ? ?

I know this is over 2 years old.... but I'll expound on it anyway just because it kinda bothers me to see naive people who believe every email that comes in front of them.

The below are the facts:

- Pelosi had "nothing" to do with American Samoa being exempted in that bill
- American Samoa was exempt to the minimum wages before that bill
- It was not passed for American Samoa and their minimum wage increased
- Pelosi's husband owns "zero" stock in Del Monte or Star Kist

Fact checking is your friend.... I highly recommend you do a search for facts upon receiving these emails. (That you recited word for word.... hey, I got the same one. I instead fact checked it and found out it was junk) All of the fact checking sites covered this subject matter in depth.

I'll get you started with your research here: http://www.factcheck.org/2008/11/special-favors-from-nancy-pelosi/

Your whole premise is simply shot down by facts.... you should consider writing Pelosi an apology email for spreading propoganda lies about her.
