Have you signed John Conyers' letter regarding the Downing Street Memo?

[T Roosevelt]

Poll question: Have you signed John Conyers' letter regarding the Downing Street Memo?

Dear Friend:

As many of you are aware, a classified memo was recently disclosed in Great Britain that I believe has serious ramifications for the integrity of the United States Government. Dubbed the “Downing Street Memo,” but actually comprising the minutes of a meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair and other top British government officials, the memo casts serious doubt on many of the contentions of the Bush Administration in the lead up to the Iraq war. With over 1,600 U.S. servicemen and servicewomen killed in Iraq, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and over $200 billion in taxpayer funds going to this war effort, we cannot afford to stand by any longer.

Along with 88 of my colleagues, I wrote to the President requesting answers about this grave matter. Thus far, our search for the truth has been stonewalled and I need your help. I believe the American people deserve answers about this matter and should demand directly that the President tell the truth about the memo. To that end, I am asking you to sign on to a letter to the President requesting he answer the questions posed to him by 89 Members of Congress.

I will personally insure that this letter is delivered to the White House.

You can read the letter here and sign on to it below. You and I know the White House is just hoping that this matter will fade away, but in a few short weeks, with our steadfastness, the memo has found its way into leading newspapers and White House press briefings. With your help, we can hold this Administration accountable.

Please pass on this important letter to your friends and colleagues, and ask them to sign as well.

Thank you for your help and support.

John Conyers, Jr.

1. only 99987 signatures to go! If every DU signs and gets one friend

to sign, we could single-handedly get this baby started.
Call or e-mail your friends and ask them to sign.
:-)

4. I sent an email to 6 friends

If everybody does that, we'll be golden. Also Randi spent a lot of time on it, and if a small fraction of her listeners follow through...

[ellenfl]

25. i sent it to 8 people and asked them to pass it on. eom

[Gold Metal Flake]

2. Not yes but HELL yes!

[tech3149]

3. Yes!!!!

[Pirate Smile]

5. It needs one more vote to get on the Greatest page.

[TheUnspeakable]

6. done pirate!!!!!!

[Pirate Smile]

7. Thanks.

[calimary]

19. Done, kicked, recommended, and voted - yes of course.

If there'd been a HELL YES!! to check off, that's what I'd have preferred.

You can back up this action, I guess on Tuesday, by calling Conyers' office, OR anybody else's office - your own reps AND/OR maybe ONE other congressperson elsewhere - to urge them to sign on, too. If their staffer tells you his/her boss is already onboard, then THANK THEM PROFUSELY and urge them to keep fighting for this. Also, in such cases, don't be at all afraid to invoke the "I" word: Impeachment Is An Option!

[TheUnspeakable]

8. there's 70,000 of us here...

All Conyers needs is 100,000 signitures we almost have it covered ourselves! If anyone heard John Bonifaz on Randi Rhodes you would know it's the first step toward IMPEACHMENT!!

[Pryderi]

22. Where are the other 69,000+????

:(

[Raksha]

45. Probably a lot more than 128 DUers have signed the petition.

They just don't hang out in "General Discussion: Politics" and haven't seen this poll. I don't check this board every day--mostly I hang out in GD or the election reform forum.

[bunny planet]

signatures no problem. It would be great to get a lot more than that.

[Pirate Smile]

[KitSileya]

31. I would sign it if I were an American citizen.

I would really, really love to sign this and support Conyers. He deserves all the support he can get. Unfortunately, I'm not an American citizen, so, as has been stated on this thread before, it's not my place to sign. However, I am going to post this in my LJ so that my American friends will be aware of it.

As for DU's 70 000 members, remember that some of them aren't Americans, and please don't rag on them if there isn't a 100% signatory rate.

Good luck!

[ninty]

39. Same goes for me

[anakie]

40. as would I

however it is up to the American people to get rid of the evil they created. Your biggest problem? Apathy of a vast swathe of the population who are either ignorant, dont care or support the fuckwit.

46. Finally signed it today. I wasn't going to, but my favorite blogger

insisted that all of his readers do it, and if he's still willing to make the occasional nod to the fight, well, then I guess I don't have any excuses (thanks, Joseph!). Go, Rep. Conyers!

[electricmonk]

47. Other

I've been trying all day but I keep getting error messages. Maybe I should try it in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox and see if it works then.

[Paul Dlugokencky]

50. ...other

It might not have been your browser but instead bad timing, network-wise. Any luck with IE?

Like water on stone we will eventually break it down because water always wins in the end.

[loro mi dicevano]

53. Yes! I want answers for the 1657 American soldiers dead in Iraq, and for

their families that have to suffer the burden of losing a family member because of Bush's lies. I've passed it on. :)

[calimary]

70. And don't forget, that's just the 1657 we know about.

That number doesn't cover the wounded who died of their injuries at another hospital - separate from the battle area. Or the injured and disabled, some permanently disabled. Some emotionally/mentally disabled. So many casualties there are.

Kick.

[autorank]
