THE AMAZING @RepSpeier
Before flying to Guyana in November 1978, a 28-year-old congressional aide wrote a note for her parents, just in case. "Should anything happen be proud," it said. "I have no regrets." Three days later she was lying behind a plane wheel on a jungle airstrip, pretending to be dead:
Her name was Jackie Speier. She worked for Congressman Leo Ryan, who had flown to Jonestown to check on Americans living in Jim Jones's Peoples Temple. Families back home said their relatives were being held there against their will. When Ryan's group tried to fly out with about 15 people who wanted to leave, Jones's men pulled up at the Port Kaituma airstrip and opened fire. Ryan was hit more than 40 times. Speier hid behind a wheel and played dead. A gunman walked up and shot her five times at point-blank range. "The whole right side of my body was blown up."
She lay on that airstrip for 22 hours with no medical care. She thought of her grandmother and decided she didn't want her to live through her funeral. That same night more than 900 people died in Jonestown.
In the video below, about a year later, she sits down with a local TV reporter. At 0:20 she says doctors had just found another bullet in her arm, and she'd need surgery again in December. Then she jokes: if they find another one, she'll be "manufacturing them." The smile doesn't last. Every investigation that was promised went nowhere. "Not indictment one, not report one." At 1:30 she asks whether a congressman and 900 people "all died in vain." Her last words in the clip: "It leaves me cold."
She spent two months in the hospital and had 10 surgeries, guarded around the clock by U.S. Marshals because of threats to her life. 30 years after the ambush, in 2008, she won Leo Ryan's old seat in Congress.
This week is 48 years since that airstrip. She played dead, and they shot her anyway. What would you have done?
DO THEY HAVE SMIRK AND SNEERING LESSONS FOR GOP FEMALES OR THE ALL JUST SO MISERABLE??
COOPER: You told Debbie Dingell you were not going to do this. Is that correct?
STEVENS: Anderson, that is nice editorializing.
COOPER: I am about to speak to her. I’m giving you the courtesy saying what happened.

@NYCMayor FIX THIS EVIL BUSINESS!
BREAKING: Undercover footage shows the nightmarish warehouse cells where NYC carriage horses are trapped in deplorable conditions when not in dangerous NYC traffic.
These poor animals have a HORRIFIC LIFE of walking the busy streets , in and out of congested traffic in hot and cold temperatures. These horses NEVER touch grass, never graze in pastures and no socialization with other horses .
They have NO pasture for grazing and interacting with other horses as herd animals NEED to be healthy and they are denied proper veterinary care.
THIS HAS TO STOP. TAKE ACTION BELOW TO END THIS ABUSE.
Everyone can call NYC Council Health Committee Chair Lynn Schulman at 718.544.8800 and press 0 to leave a message to ask her to cosponsor and fast- track #RydersLaw Intro 967 to end this criminal horse abuse!
NEW YORKERS: please make a quick call or send an email to your own New York City COUNCIL MEMBER urging them to POST sponsor and pass intro 967,
#RydersLaw.
