At the end of his “Better Know a District” segment with Congresswoman Jackie Speier of the California 12th, the pair decided to make a YouTube video because the company is headquartered in Speier’s district. Colbert, who is a man of many hidden talents, turns out to be a pretty good skateboarder. The pair hopped on and sped away, but the fun didn’t stop there. Representatives Jim McGovern and Patrick Kennedy also got in on the action. Fortunately, Stephen didn’t break his neck while attempting his stair trick. (Skateboarding begins 5:20 into the clip.)

At a townhall meeting this past weekend I asked Congresswoman Jackie Speier (CA-12)—who represents my district—about immigration reform as it pertains to bi-national same-sex couples. Speier is one of 97 co-sponsors for the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA), which provides a path to citizenship for bi-national same-sex couples where one of the partners is not a natural-born or naturalized citizen. I asked Speier what was the best method of passing UAFA, either as a stand-alone measure or as a part of more comprehensive immigration reform. I framed the question around the story of Shirley Tan and Jay Mercado , a local bi-national lesbian couple ... Read Full Story

I received a personal note from Congresswoman Jackie Speier yesterday via mass email. Jackie flew to Washington D.C. yesterday with her family, and was sworn in. Can you imagine what it must be like to win an election one day, fly to Washington D.C. and be sworn in the next? Surreal. But Jackie Speier knows a thing or two about surreal experiences. She and several other amazing women* recently wrote a book called " This is Not the Life I Ordered ", subtitled " 50 Ways to keep your head above water when life keeps dragging you down ."(*Deborah Collins Stephens, Michealene Cristini Risley ...

And there are some, indeed, who might identify with the spirit of such a statement — California Congresswoman Jackie Speier, for one. Almost three hours into a House subcommittee hearing yesterday on rating-agency reform that had been remarkable ... Read Full Story

That political professional Demorat is going to Washington. Jackie Spier, who foisted the mandatory seat belt law on Californians because she was angry that her husband died in a car crash while not wearing a seat belt & died leaving her no life insurance, is going to Congress. This Demorat who has made a living fattening off the public weal and who once said running for Congress was " therapy " has done nothing but live off the public dole for years. She was sworn in by another pre-eminent political whore, Nancy Pelosi. ( And before I get jumped on by every feminist this ... Read Full Story
Don't sleep on Jackie Speier. The freshman Democrat from California came into the House Financial Services Committee room Thursday ready to fight for her long-shot amendment to limit the leverage ratio for big banks. "I expected a roll call vote," said Speier, fresh off a star turn on the Colbert Report. Lobbyists and committee staffers expected that the amendment -- which would mandate that banks essentially could not lend out or invest...
