Conyers says our response has been OVERWHELMING - now even MORE urgent!!!!
Edited on Sun May-29-05 04:10 PM by BigBearJohn

"...this new disclosure makes my letter asking 100,000 citizens to write to President Bush, located at www.johnconyers.com, all the more important. As my back-office administrator is closed for the holiday, I do not expect to have specific numbers of signatures until Tuesday, however needless to say, the response has been overwhelming from everything I can gage thus far.

18. What a wonderful Conyers photo! "Grrrrrrr" is right!
If I use a public cache so your bandwidth won't be affected, may I use it sometimes in my posts? I really love his resolute, I-am-NOT-going-to-be-pushed-around expression.

(Re using the free public cache for posting, let me know if anyone wants to hear more about it. You just insert a segment into the picture file URL and it goes through a huge pooled cache so that the source owner isn't burned by people upping his/her bandwidth. It was news to me when I found out about it recently, but I don't know if anyone else will be as interested.)

32. On behalf of the procrastinators, thanks for keeping this
in our attention.

I've been meaning to do this, but hadn't found the time until this morning - and it took about 2 minutes to read the letter and put my name on it.

If you've been meaning to, maybe now's the time!

Thanks again.

39. We all hope, pray and dream
that Bushco will be brought to justice for their lies.> Impeachment.

But even if that does not happen, to just do the damn right thing-and finally having a LEADER that speaks the truth and isn't afraid to do so- is almost enough. It's the best thing EVER-it's a fresh breeze in a sea of sick. And I'm SICK to death of politics. I want someone that just does the right thing and says the truth and damn it all. That's all Conyers does and it makes me want to follow him into battle.

Peace.


www.missionnotaccomplished.us how ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

54. If one is not a citizen
but does have permanant residence status, pays taxes, has a soc. sec. card etc.

does this persons signature still help this cause?
