Event Description:

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, is coming to Houston to speak.

Houstonians who do not appreciate her support of the war and empire machine want to remind her that she's supposed to represent the people of the US, not the lobbyists of the military-industrial-torture-prison-insurance complex.
