Stand with Congressman Conyers


"I am taking steps against the Bush Administration’s handling of the Iraq War and its warrantless wiretapping. I am going to need you to stand with me in fighting for accountability."

"I have sought answers from the administration to questions arising from the Downing Street Minutes, the Valerie Plame leak, and scores of other abominable abuses of power that pervade the activities of this White House. 121 Members of Congress and many citizens like you have joined me in asking these questions of the President."

"I recently completed a thorough review of this administration’s misconduct and have produced a 250-page report that provides evidence suggesting further steps to be taken. [A copy of the report may be found at Raw Story.com and also at CensureBush.org where additional action items may be found.]"

"It is time to take bolder measures in our pursuit of justice. This White House has responded to questions about its conduct with misleading statements, obfuscation, and vicious attacks against their critics. We must take the next step towards restoring accountability in our federal government."


This is the website of the Congressman who created the Iraq Report that I've thrown in your face several times. You can get the report at his site.

Though he's doing what he can, which is a hell of a lot more than others, being a Democrat means he's got no power to push this to the point where action is actually taken, because the ruling Republicans are still protecting their Fearless Leader and his cohorts.

Along with the people at....



"ImpeachPAC supports Democratic candidates for Congress who support the immediate and simultaneous impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney for their Iraq War lies."


....Conyers and others are still placing their hopes in getting the Democrats back in power before they can do anything. I suppose they think waiting it out is a good strategy, by I don't. They're hoping that voters are tired of the corruption and lies coming from the Republicans, and so, will vote Democrat. But unless they start capitalizing "publically" on the misdeeds of the other party. I don't see them having much of a chance come election time. Congressional elections are this year, yet what is their strategy? They should be campaigning right now, by pointing out every reason not to vote Republican, and exactly what they can do to set things right again. If they don't start making some real noise and rattling cages right now, they can forget it.

As for those of us who know better than to vote a straight party ticket, we have to demand, from whoever currently represents us, Dem or Rep, they'll loss their jobs if they don't start taking action against the administration now, not after elections. Screw waiting. The people have to get to those already in office, because there's no guarantee there'll be a shift in power later this year.
