4. "Those who failed to march for Democracy at home, now bomb

for Democracy in Iraq."

[mirandapriestly]

13. ooh, good one.... n/t

[DARE to HOPE]

5. Go, Jesse!! God sustain you!!

It breaks my heart to hear this history! The blood of the righteous cries out! The 1964 Voting Rights Act! "A line from Selma right to Ohio!"

Oh, God help us, God lift all these voices into real power in America!!

Hey--and MY Congressman is there--Jesse, Jr! :-)

[brainshrub]

6. Go Jessie go!

This will be one of those speeches that our grandkids will watch as they study how the American people ignored folks like Jackson as we slid into fascism.

8. Conyers just said...

They are going to Ohio!!! Kerry better surface soon and jump on board!!

[brainshrub]

14. That is EXACTLY the problem.

This hearing marks "official" start of the battle; However, without Kerry we are marching into war with plenty of bullets but no guns.

If Kerry jumps on board, we have hope. I don't believe that Kerry will do it.

7. truly

I've never heard him sound so thoroughly informed, centered, or well measured in his delivery. He's not going to let this go ". . .with a shrug." Really impressive.

[Proud to be blue]

9. Yes!!!

They accepted the challenge and will go to Ohio to have hearings!!!! You rock Jesse!!!!!

[berner59]

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Proud to be blue]

22. Thanks for the welcome

It's a pleasure to meet all of you and keep up the good work!!!

[katinmn]

12. Thank you, Jesse!

People ask: Where are the leaders speaking up for us?

Jesse's there. He always has been.

[BlueWolff]

15. Jesse NEVER fails

Never fails all of us white and Black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope MLK is watching from above.....

[pilgrimsoul]

17. I'm at work and can't listen to/watch this hearing...

but I'm sitting at my desk reading these posts right now and fighting back tears. I am so proud to be on the side that is standing up for the truth at this moment. No matter what shit Rove tries to fling at us, stand tall, people. Tell it like it is. And remain firm in your conviction. Let them spin themselves into oblivion. The American people have a pretty good bullshit detector -they just need access to the information. And hopefully today's hearing will blow that door wide open so people can see that the niggling doubt in their mind about this election's legitimacy has a basis in a reality. Let's fight the tyranny and corruption and take our country back from these fascist crooks!!!

[BlueWolff]

18. I'm crying too

Shiela jackson Lee and jesse Jackson Jr. are also UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!
I am so proud of these leaders...

[HEAVYHEART]

19. Email

Has anyone emailed Jesse yet? Let's all email him to thank him! Anybody know his email addy?

Go Jesse!!!

[madison2000]

20. Thank you Jesse Jackson

Thank you for speaking for so many of us who feel we have lost our voice.

[Generator]

23. My favorite quote of his today

after he was getting choked up, "It's just not right."

No, what we have here is something going on-and it's not right at all.

[Vidar]

24. In both eloquence and spirit, Jesse truly is the successor of

Martin Luther King.
