Conyers reaches, extends signature goal; creates tip line

The office of Representative John Conyers (D-MI) believes it has surpassed its stated goal of 100,000 signatures requesting an investigation into the Downing Street Memo, minutes of a British Prime Minister's meeting on July 23, 2002.

"Right now, we are going through signatures to verify the number," said Danielle Brown, Conyers' spokesperson. Brown currently puts the number of signers at an, "estimated 110,000 and growing." With Conyers' web site receiving about 5,000 unique visitors every 4 to 5 hours, the Congressman has made his revised goal 250,000 signatures.

Conyers also hopes to attract prospective whistleblowers through a new tips line on the Democrats' House Judiciary web page. "There remain many unanswered questions regarding President Bush's lead up to the Iraq war that suggest a serious abuse of power," Conyers stated in a press release. "I am hopeful there are people who have leads and information that will bring us closer to the truth.

"Accessing my website will enable courageous civil servants and concerned citizens to contact me in order to provide relevant information in a secure and confidential manner. As we have been reminded this week by the disclosure of the identity of 'Deep Throat', a single citizen can expose widespread corruption in an Administration."

24. This is great!

I hope people come forward and I hope they have protection. I remember watching a democratic hearing on Iraq and some whistleblowers were supposed to be there but ended up not coming because people were threatning them and they were afraid for their families/friends etc. Wasn't there a new law passed to protect whistleblowers? I think now is the perfect time for this while Bush is weak. I read an interview George Halloway did and it was either with Thom Hartmann or Alex Jones but Halloway said that Bush and Blair were weak now. So this is the right time and before 2006 because for all we know some republicans can win seats of people who would help now.
