When Conyers Walks Down To The White House Where Will You Be?

[ThomWV]

John Conyers said he will deliver the letter to the White House Gate (are members of Congress not permitted inside the White House without an invitation?) once 500,000 signatures are on it. That seems to have been accomplished, the signatures that is. The delivery of the letter is still in the future.

As much as I would like the letter to arrive in time for George's breakfast maybe it would be a good idea for Mr. Conyers to wait a day or two. That way people could make arrangements to be in DC and walk down Pennsylvania Avenue with him to make the delivery - I am more than willing to go to DC to join him on that short walk - and I expect a few hundred thousand others might be too. How could the news media not report on a mass march on the White House demanding specific answers to specific questions?

I would like to see delivery of the letter around wednesday or thursday, probably around mid morning so the news folks have time to set up.

1. Unfortunately I cannot afford to fly to DC for this

or I would

2. Wow I'll be in DC this week!

course it is for a school field trip with the kid and I don't think I can deviate for this...but should be exciting nonetheless!

10. Take your kid off the field trip and take him/her with you...

to watch "history in the making"! If the school gives you trouble about it, tell them you're teaching your child real patriotism... ;)

3. Seems like he said he would personally take it over after the

hearings that he is holding on the 16th/17th(?)

4. That's what I heard. Thursday after the hearing.

6. How Can That Be?

No hearing has even been scheduled and none was contemplated when Representative Conyers wrote that he would deliver the letter. So how, on a sunday morning, can it be that the deliver is now predicated on a hearing that was not contemplated and may in fact never take place?

8. Conyers plans on having a hearing on June 16, Thursday

and said he would deliver the signed letter, in person, after that meeting. :hi:

9. I'm just repeating this:

"Now, after the hearing on Thursday, he is sure to deliver more than half a
million signatures to the White House." which is in an email from these folks:

12. Try this...

...Conyer's comments

5. Junior will have him arrested if he tries to enter the WH grounds.

He will then classify him as a terrorist and deport him to Guantanamo Bay.

I wouldn't put this past these cretins.

7. The hearing is set for June 16th of this week on DowningStreetMemo
