Nancy Pelosi, Mother Speaks out on meaning of Mother's Day

What a splendid post by the honorable Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi on the upcoming Mother's Day. Speaker Pelosi addresses the historical roots of this day, founded as it was by a mother who wanted to reclaim the sanctity of motherhood from the depths and depravity of our (un) Civil War. Julia Ward Howe spent the latter years of her life condemning the commercial travesty of future Mother's Days.
