5. Ann Marie Hauser (who is that?) - your 'statement ' makes me sick
Mr. Conyers is IN FACT spending a considerable amount of his time condemning and working against "terrorism", when he works against a president who is forcing and/or threatening to coerce the compliance of the rest of the community (the US) into supporting an illegal war and subversion of the Constitution of the United States -- by this president CONSTANTLY remindering US citizens of an unnamed/unidentified 'enemy' who is a frightening aspect <the terrors of invasion> or will commit violence (as bombing).

John Conyers is a true patriot.
