John Conyers Is No Martin Luther King

Resisting, Anyway…

In spite of a new executive order, the increased fear-mongering about "terrorist attacks," including Chertoff's repeated messages from his gut and Santorum's apparent pining for "unfortunate events," the real America is making it clear we've had enough! A group of national leaders and activists are literally marching into Washington DC on Monday, straight to Conyers' office, to sit there until he agrees to immediately push impeachment forward. Details follow.

Conyers has now said if three more Representatives sign on to cosponsor House Resolution 333, he'll push it forward. Has your Rep signed on? Have you called today? Can you join these marchers? If not, how will you support their actions on Monday?

This is only one of a whole series of actions taking place, and we are compiling a list of these examples of continuing resistance, to be posted shortly. In the meantime, take action, and take heart! We are the People! We will not be silent!

9/11 Press for Truth Campaign, August, 2007

Rep. Dennis Kucinich has announced that he will hold Congressional committee hearings into specific aspects of 9/11, beginning in September. A new campaign aims to press the entire Congress to support Kucinich's investigations and, in fact, fully investigate the events of 9/11. During the first week of August, house parties will be held to introduce a broader audience to these questions, through the movie, "9/11 Press for Truth." And the accompanying campaign will put a copy of "9/11 Press for Truth," the Family Steering Committee Review of 9/11Commission Report, and a personal letter, into the hands of every member of Congress.

A number of national groups have now embraced this campaign, as our years of persistent collaborative efforts begin to show their positive effect! DownsizeDC.org has this campaign front and center on their main page. And Progressive Democrats of America have blogged about the campaign at “Answers For 9/11 Families” week.
