478,348 Signatures and Counting

With a big boost from MoveOn.org, the count of signatures on Congressman Conyers' letter to Bush asking for answers to the Downing Street Minutes is 478,348 and climbing. Clearly we will pass the goal of 500,000 before the Congressman delivers the letter to the White House on Thursday and we all rally in Lafayette Square Park.

Note Nu. 4, 5 and lastly 11.

4. If 11 September had not happened, it is doubtful that the US would now be considering military action against Iraq. In addition, there is no credible evidence to link Iraq with UBL and Al Quaida.

It goes on to mention Iraq has not worsened as a result of Sept. 11 and much more like the use of "axis of evil" in the speech by "President *." And continues to state "A lot of work will now need to be done to delink the 3, namely Iran, North Korean and Iraq."
