Congresswoman Waters: "...introduce amendments on ... the war EVERY DAY ..

[understandinglife]

Excellent report from "AFTERDOWINGSTREET.ORG"



Congress Member and House Judiciary Committee Member Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) shook up the Rainbow Push Coalition's 34th Annual Convention in Chicago today, winning huge standing ovations for a speech denouncing President Bush for lying about the war. Waters announced that she and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus plan to inform the House Democratic Leadership that they will introduce amendments on the issue of the war EVERY DAY from now on.

Waters told the crowd that Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean had received attention for criticizing the Republican Party in recent days, but that "he did not say enough."

"Bush is a liar," Waters said, according to an observer who phoned AfterDowningStreet.org. "He lied about weapons of mass destruction and he lied about the war."

Waters called Vice President Dick Cheney "a thief," and said that he was stealing for Halliburton.

And Waters said that Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice will "go anywhere and say anything they tell her to say, and have the audacity to do it with a smile."

...after which the applause grew too loud for our observer to hear the Congresswoman's remarks.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - Please, everyone, don't stop at 500,000 signatures; don't stop at 10,000,000 signatures; don't stop until Bush and the neoconsters are indicted and prosecuted for their heinous crimes against humanity and our Constitution.

6. Yes, Ma'am! Preach, Maxine! n/t

[Goldeneye]

7. That's the thing I don't understand.

I think Dean is doing a good job. But if he wants to fight...why doesn't he start by calling BushCo liars and talking about the DSM. Is he being held back by some dem leaders? He said yesterday the war would be a priority, so maybe he's going to say something soon.

[FreedomAngel82]

8. I wonder too

:shrug: Maybe it's a strategy or something. I don't know. I'm glad to hear this though!

My email message:
Good evening Congresswoman Waters,

My wife and I are deeply grateful for your courage and leadership. The Congressional Black Caucus, particularly since the moment "America" was severely compromised, Dec 9 2000, has been among the very few forces for preserving our Constitution, saving our "America."

Here is a link at Democratic Underground that I hope you will find gratifying:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=3843504&mesg_id=3843504&page=

We are very encouraged by the notion that EVERY DAY, from now on, the Congressional Black Caucus will be keeping the focus on Bush's lies and the countless tragedies that attend his and the neoconsters illegal, immoral, horrifying war on the People and Nation of Iraq.

We will prevail,
xxxx

Peace.

21. GOOD for Maxine! Too bad ALL the Dems...

..don't have enough spine to speak the TRUTH. WHY THE FRIGGIN HELL does the CBC always stand up strong when the rest of the wimpy Dems back down?

She/they put the rest of the Democrats to shame.

[mandyky]

22. Every DUer needs to go and join the NAACP or Rainbow Push

no matter what race you are and ask them to send a thank you note, or a notice to the Congressional Black Caucus.

[Lindsay]

23. Ooh, that's gonna annoy the House Repugs!

Good on Ms. Waters. She's one of my heroes.

Maxine, :yourock:

[joanne]

30. I have admired you for many years Rep. Waters, and I only wish

that I could have a Rep. with the half of the integrity, grace, and courage that you demonstrate. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with Zach Wamp.

But you go and give'em hell!!

[Hapameli]

31. Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to see how Delay handles this!

[Karenina]
