How Soon We Forget- The Leadership of John Conyers

[Guaranteed]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Conyers

"In May, 2005, Conyers released What Went Wrong In Ohio: The Conyers Report On The 2004 Presidential Election, which discusses the voting irregularities in the state of Ohio during the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election. The evidence offered of wrongdoing consists of statistical abnormalities in the differences between exit poll results and actual votes registered at those locations. The book also discusses reports of faulty electronic voting machines and the lack of credibility of those machines used to tally votes.

"He was one of the 31 who voted in the House to NOT count the electoral votes from Ohio in the United States presidential election, 2004."

Not to mention the fact that he was one of the few to attempt to block Bush's electoral votes in the House in 2000.


I remember how proud we were of him on this day, as well:

I would also invite everyone to look at Conyers' voting history, here:

His consistency is actually kind of amazing, in this age of the spineless Democrat.
He is:

Rated 100% by NARAL, indicating a pro-choice voting record. (Dec 2003)

Rated 93% by the ACLU, indicating a pro-civil rights voting record. (Dec 2002)

Rated 100% by CURE, indicating pro-rehabilitation crime votes. (Dec 2000)

Rated 91% by the NEA, indicating pro-public education votes. (Dec 2003)

Rated 8% by the Christian Coalition: an "anti-family" voting record. (Dec 2003)

Rated 100% by APHA, indicating a pro-public health record. (Dec 2003)

Rated 89% by SANE, indicating a pro-peace voting record. (Dec 2003)

Rated 100% by the AFL-CIO, indicating a pro-union voting record. (Dec 2003)


Just days ago Conyers said that with the support of three more representatives, he would begin impeachment proceedings.

Of course, ONLY TODAY, we had this:

He's brought contempt of Congress charges against 2 members of BushCo. Yes, apparently we forget things that happen the very same day, for some reason.

-----------------

I have to say that people who are hassling this guy are absolutely out of their MINDS. I researched even further than the above online and his record and history of leadership are nothing but sparkling. Superb.

This guy wants justice as much as anyone here, and he knows what he's doing. He knows what can be done and what can't be. People may be frustrated by the ongoing Bush crap, but no one has any right to take those frustrations out on him. Seriously, people need to leave him the fuck alone.
