..... Important and Historical Day Tomorrow

Please offer your support to the Congressman at:

"I just concluded a very busy day of interviews about the Downing Street Minutes. This morning, I appeared on the Democracy Now Radio and Television show with Amy Goodman, and NPR’s “All Things Considered” (taped for Thursday AM). I taped an interview with CNN’s Bill Schneider for “Inside Politics,” which I believe was broadcast later in the day. I had a very nice visit and interview with Dembloggers.com as well. Late in the day, I taped an interview for AP TV.

(Also, lest you think Downing Street is all I am thinking about, I taped an interview with a group doing a very interesting documentary on Ohio 2004).

<snip>

For those commenters who were concerned (or hoping) that there would be a media blackout of the forum, that will not be the case. I have every major network, other than Fox, bringing cameras to the hearing. Nightline is taping the event, which I think represents a welcome development from a well respected investigative program. In addition, C-Span 3 and Radio Pacifica are carrying it live.

Member interest in the hearing has been stellar and participation is expected to be very high. My friends Jerry Nadler, Maxine Waters, Chris Van Hollen, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Sheila Jackson Lee, Barbara Lee, Jim McDermott, Lynn Woolsey, Major Owens, barney Frank, Cynthia McKinney, Corrine Brown, Jay Inslee, and Charlie Rangel are all likely to attend. A number of other Members are attempting to adjust their schedules to attend as well.

<snip>

Following the hearing, I will personally deliver a letter with stacks and stacks of signatures to the White House. This is the culmination of all of your efforts and I hope Thursday makes you very proud. I also hope at the end of the day tomorrow, we will all feel that the truth has begun to be known by more and more Americans and that we are all re-invigorated to do the critical work that comes next.

Peace.


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.

You can watch it on the cspan website though.

8. From C-Span...

Thanks for your inquiry about C-SPAN's coverage of Thursday's meeting with John Conyers regarding the Downing Street Memo. We recognize that there is a great deal of interest in the meeting, which is why we are carrying it live on as many C-SPAN platforms as we can: C-SPAN3, C-SPAN.org, and C-SPAN radio, which you can hear on XM and Sirius satellite Radio. This program is scheduled to re-air on Friday, June 17th at 8pm ET on C-SPAN2. Please check our TV Schedules at c-span.org for programming information (please remember the schedule is subject to change).

C-SPAN and C-SPAN2 remain committed to live coverage of the U.S. House and Senate on a week when the Congress is dealing with several major pieces of legislation. But this is exactly the reason why C-SPAN3 was created. So, if you have an opportunity, please tell your satellite or cable provider that you want C-SPAN3.

Thank you for your interest in the C-SPAN Networks.

Who's going to keep an eye on WTF they're doing while we're all distracted with the hearings? :scared:

[pacalo]

39. On the other hand, maybe that is why the hearing will be on C-Span 3?

[JDPriestly]

7. Thanks.

I think Conyers should invite an expert on international law to discuss whether Blair can bet tried for violations of international law based on the DSMs and his subsequent decision to go to war without UN authorization.

[understandinglife]

9. Good suggestion. He reads his blog, so perhaps you could post ...

Man, I can't wait to see the final work.

2006 can't come fast enough for me!

[bpilgrim]

20. he promised us one

peace

[Generator]

18. God I love this man!

And my name, my real name, is on that thing. It's personal.

Loved him on Democracy Now.

"The truth cannot be stopped" were his exact words.

[BigBearJohn]

21. Outstanding. I am going to make a separate thread, just about this:

every major network, other than Fox, bringing cameras to the hearing

[slor]

26. Damn...and I have to work all damn day!

Please folks, record and post all of the channels, everyone pick a different channel to TIVO, and then post the clips. I do not want to miss any of the moments that mark the ascent of our country, from the deep dark pit that the chimp has tripped us into!

[understandinglife]

32. Go for it!! (nt)

23. I envy you having such a treasure in Senator Conyers!

What a fighter for truth and a patriot in the REAL sense. Heroes like him are rare.

[Karenina]

24. May he be surrounded in solidarity

by MILLIONS. My fantasy is that ALL THOSE who have been injured by the *PNAC misadministration who can actually get there, take the Metro, Amtrak or Greyhound and converge on the city in SUPPORT of John Conyers.

[bread_and_roses]

25. "surrounded in solidarity" I like that

Yes, let him know that millions who cannot be there in person stand in solidarity with him.

[Scout1071]

27. He's inspired me to leave work early and head to my local rally.

We The People are coming!

[BattyDem]

28. I know this may sound petty, but ...

I would love it if Mr. Conyers opened the hearing by saying something like this:

"Thank you all for coming. Before we get started, please allow me to apologize for squeezing you all into this small room, but the Majority Party would not allow us to use any of the rooms that are paid for by hard-working, tax-paying Americans."

:evilgrin:

[understandinglife]

31. That is very solid; not petty at all. Please post it at his blog...

.... as, that is exactly the message we all want to deliver -- this is OUR government and OUR buildings and OUR assets. They are not the property of Bush and his theocratic, neoconster hoodlum buddies.

Peace.

[BattyDem]

33. I just posted it at his blog

Thanks for the suggestion. :-)

[Tsiyu]

46. kick

[rodeodance]

51. he just might say something like that--recall his thanking Sensenbrenner

for not cutting off the witnessses and a few other kind remarks--Conyers was sarcastic without Sen knowing it (ok-he prob. did)--bu in the end. Conyers socked it to him.

Love to read Congressman Conyers words !
Such a fine person, Patriot and Hero...

[brettdale]

36. kick

[bvar22]

38. I hope the hallway is a jam crowded hell,

and that Sensenbrenner's name comes up alot with adjoining curses as the Republican responsible for the maddness in The People's House"!!!

I am OVERJOYED that the CorpoMedia is treating this as newsworthy!!!!, I would like the Repoublican's FAILED atttempt to supress this hearing to also be part of the news coverage.

The WhiteHouse must be shitting their pants!!!!

[understandinglife]

41. Yeap. And I love Michael Moore's call to 'surround the White House'!!

[Griffy]

44. WOW.. just wow... did he bake a cake too..

I was just touched as he mentioned that hes on the election fraud too! STILL.. incredible...!

I am looking forward to tomorrow... I'll be there!

[Im with Rosey]

47. He must NEVER sleep!

When I read that he is still working on Ohio I was also amazed. He either takes a ton of vitamins or he just doesn't sleep. Can you imagine what it would be like if just a few more had his passion and diligence? I would love to bottle his energy and send it to all the dems that need a kick.

[deacon]

45. not Fox? gee what a surprise--and the clowns there still don't admit to

being biased.

Hey but, it's better without them! Much better!

[Daphne08]

48. They're too busy in Aruba.

:eyes:

[rodeodance]

49. maybe they will be shamed into showing up?

[fooj]

50. Oh UL, I'm so glad that you posted this...

I read it last evening and I was so incredibly moved by the honor and integrity of this fine Congressman! It brought me to tears. This time, my tears were not induced by fear or anger...they came from my sincere gratitude and a profound sense of hope! Thank you, Congressman Conyers, for modeling behavior that TRULY represents the values and principles of our beloved country!

You are my hero.

peace.:loveya: :patriot:
