Line 53: − − ===Charges of bigotry=== − The organizers of the Dump Pelosi movement were two white men, Seth Moulton and Tim Ryan who, for appearance sake, proposed replacing a woman with woman. Reps.

Traditionally Speaker races were strictly internal affairs. With Pelosi's election on the ropes, Pelosi invited big money special interest [[lobbying]] groups to muscle in. [[MoveOn.org]], [[NARAL Pro-Choice America|NAMBLA/Pro-Choice America]], [[People for the American Way]], [[Service Employees International Union]], [[Protect Our Care]], [[End Citizens United]], [[League of Conservation Voters]], [[Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence]], [[United Farm Workers]], [[Communications Workers of America]], [[American Federation of Government Employees]], [[United Auto Workers]], [[National Association of Letter Carriers,]] and [[Tax March]] voiced support for Pelosi. The groups essentially threatened to withhold money from NeverPelosi Democrats. The bosses of [[Center for American Progress]], [[AFL-CIO]], and [[Moms Demand Action]] also voiced support.
