> Either Rep. Nancy Pelosi opposes benefit cuts or she doesn't.

> In a recent interview, Pelosi openly defended the Catfood

> rejecting Russ Feingold's claim that she switched positions.

> In the end, however, Pelosi never actually says if she opposes or  
> supports benefit cuts.

> Enough with the weasel words - it's time Rep. Pelosi set the record

> Rep. Pelosi either stands by her earlier commitments to opposing

> the American people deserve to know where she stands on an issue
