(CNSNews.com)- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) told a recent gathering of the Women’s Political Committee that the spirits of suffragists Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul spoke to her at the White House.
Pelosi said she heard them say: “At last we have a seat at the table”.
A video recently posted on Youtube shows Pelosi speaking in May describing her first meeting with President Bush in the White House after becoming part of the Democratic House leadership.
In the video Pelosi says, “He’s (Bush) saying something to the effect of we’re so glad to welcome you here, congratulations and I know you’ll probably have some different things to say about what is going on--which is correct. But, as he was saying this, he was fading and this other thing was happening to me."
“My chair was getting crowded in," said Pelosi. "I swear this happened, never happened before, it never happened since."
"My chair was getting crowded in and I couldn’t figure out what it was, it was like this," she said.
"And then I realized Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Alice Paul, Sojourner Truth, you name it, they were all in that chair, they were," said Pelosi. "More than I named and I could hear them say: 'At last we have a seat at the table.' And then they were gone."This was not the only time Pelosi has told this story. On June 6 of this year she told it during an event celebrating her 25 years of political service.
Pelosi has also told the story when speaking at colleges, including at Trinity Washington University’s commencement on May 20, 2012. Pelosi's website contains a transcript of the tale as related in her 2005 commencement address at Goucher College in Baltimore (see below*).
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were activists in the women’s rights movement during the mid to late 1800’s. The Susan B. Anthony List, which works for pro-life women’s leadership in government, uses her as a namesake. The organization claims Anthony and Stanton were stron g pro-life supporters.

Nancy Reagan didn't have a vote to send our kids to war...Wait, what am I saying, Congress doesn't vote to send our kids to war. Sorry, my mistake...

No Cicero. You're wrong. In the last year of the Reagan administration... Nancy was the closest thing to a functioning mind in the White House... Ron's was long gone and she often spoke for him and coached him with what to say.

No, just more likely to happen to politically active women. I wonder the the last time Hillary heard from Eleanor Roosevelt?

Is that anything like when Michelle Bachmann said she spoke to God, and He told her to run for president?
Like I said, politically active females...
