1. John Conyers is my hero!

The members of the Black Congressional Caucus are the first to stand up usually when our rights are threatened and the constitution in under attack.

They represent me and I'm always proud of them.

2. Seems like he's having to pull an awful lot of this load

with just the help of a few. Wonder what the rest of the cavalry is waiting for...?

3. Boxer, and J. Lewis and Conyers lead the charge!

The Gloves are OFF!
Senator Barbara Boxer and Representative John Lewis are on board with this investigation. I think there is a ground swelling into a movement. there is apparently more people signing on but for now I guess they're planning there strategy.
Boy, don't we wish we had people like this representing us?


I received this in an email:

CensureBush.org Campaign Launched in Response to New House Legislation

The AfterDowningStreet.org coalition, an alliance of over 100 grassroots organizations, has launched a new campaign called CensureBush.org in order to support new legislation introduced by Congressman John Conyers that would censure President Bush and Vice President Cheney and create a select committee to investigate the Administration's possible crimes and make recommendations regarding grounds for impeachment.

H.Res.635 would create a select committee - modeled after Sam Ervin's Watergate committee - to investigate the Administration's intent to go to war before congressional authorization, manipulation of pre-war intelligence, encouraging and countenancing torture, and retaliating against critics, and to make recommendations regarding grounds for possible impeachment.

H.Res.636 and H.Res.637 would censure, respectively, Bush and Cheney for failing to respond to requests for information concerning allegations that they and others in the Administration misled Congress and the American people regarding the decision to go to war in Iraq, misstated and manipulated intelligence information regarding the justification for the war, countenanced torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of persons in Iraq, and permitted inappropriate retaliation against critics of the Administration, for failing to adequately account for certain misstatements they made regarding the war, and – in the case of President Bush – for failing to comply with Executive Order 12958.

These two efforts are complementary - H.Res.635 seeks accountability for the Bush administration's monumental crimes, while H.Res.636 and H.Res.637 seek accountability for their coverups.

Ask your Congress Member to support these efforts!
