Hi Marianne, She's the Speaker of the House. The Speaker doesn't
sponsor or cosponsor bills (and only very rarely votes on the
most important legislation).
Regards,
Karl

Good Morning everyone,
This is great that Nancy Pelosi is participating in the
convention.
However, she has not signed on to any of the bills that were
introduced
last year to help blind people: such as HR 2086, etc. Also, is
the Democrat
phone banking database totally accessible to JAWS. I know the
Republican
telephone database is 95 per cent accessible. I should know as I
worked
with them to do so. I was a royal pain in the neck, but I got it
done. The
reason, why I worked with the less popular party is to shame
everyone else
into doing the same.
Regards,
Marianne
