Any word on the signatures yet??

[Blue Belle]

I'm sorry if this a dupe post, but I was curious whether they've tallied the signatures for John Conyer's letter yet. I can't imagine that they're still having trouble finding signatures... I know there are enough angry people out there that want to see Bush pay for his crimes.

Any numbers yet??

[HockeyMom]

1. I just sent mine in

sorry, for delay.

[Blue Belle]

2. Don't be sorry...

We just got back from a Holiday... it's understandable.

I was just curious how many he had. I hope that he has just been bombarded with signatures!!

3. Randi said they have about 50000 nt

4. Have any top DEMS like Dean, Kerry or Reid even mentioned it yet?

Even a single sentence or a brief reference?

[Blue Belle]

5. I thought Dean brought it up on Meet the Press...

I could be wrong. Maybe I was thinking that he should bring it up.

6. Hope so..

But I am a little discouraged.. cause we are only at 50% and thats counting all the hard-core people.... but if we can all just get a few people a piece.....


it sure would help to get some help from Dean.

9. No- Dean could not bring himself to utter a single sentence about it.

And he had an entire hour- and was even asked specific questions about Iraq war deception.

7. Dean refused to mention the Downing Street Memo on MTP.

He did repeat a few vague, nuanced charges about "misinformation" that "people have written about."

12. Kerry has

Very briefly, appears he has decided to get aborad before the ship leaves the pier. See http://www.southcoasttoday.com/daily/06-05/06-02-05/a01lo167.htm

In a meeting with the paper's editorial board....

Sen. Kerry puzzled over the apparent lack of interest by Americans in the Iraq war and the near silence in the U.S. mass media about the so-called Downing Street Memo.
That leaked secret document, the minutes of a 2003 cabinet meeting of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, says bluntly that Mr. Bush had decided to attack Iraq long before going to Congress with the matter, and that "intelligence was being fixed around the policy."
It caused an uproar in Great Britain and badly hurt Mr. Blair in national elections but went almost unnoticed in the United States.
"When I go back (to Washington) on Monday, I am going to raise the issue," he said of the memo, which has not been disputed by either the British or American governments. "I think it's a stunning, unbelievably simple and understandable statement of the truth and a profoundly important document that raises stunning issues here at home. And it's amazing to me the way it escaped major media discussion. It's not being missed on the Internet, I can tell you that."

8. Raw Story has it posted

59,000. I am amazed that we are only a little over half way there... I thought it would be overwhelming by now.

[Rainscents]

10. It was holiday weekend and people are not sitting in front of their

computer... Conyers state, 59,000 was as of early this morning and he had not counted all of them This is so far. Sounds like there's much more still to be counted.

[paineinthearse]

11. Officially I have heard 59,000 as of Tuesday

Unofficially, I have heard a higher figure.

Keep spreading this, and in your message, encourage your friends to keep the chain going.

13. Kick, it was a holiday weekend.

I'm sure if we keep it kicked here and at Kos we'll be just fine with signatures.

14. Hey all you old DU dogs, did you know we have a DU Conyers group?

I know it's difficult to teach old dogs new tricks, but I want you to know that the admins have approved the John Conyers group. Please visit http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=340

There you will find links to 3 extremely important posts that are getting little attenetion.

1. Conyers letter to Rumsfeld.
2. Creation by John Bonifaz of a support coalition (or see my signature line for link).
3. The memo as a "smoking gun".

16. Kerry to raise "bait and switch" war mongering (Downing St. Memo) in D.C.
