Conyers is asking for help....

[EC]

As regular readers of this blog know, I have never asked for a contribution on it. Today, I am compelled to break that pristine record. Raising money is an unfortunate reality of politics and, when you do not side with corporations and other special interests on legislation, you turn to ordinary Americans for help.

Today, I ask for your help in raising money for my re-election campaign and to help elect other Democrats so that we can end Republican rule of the House of Representatives, one party rule in Washington, and finally hold this Administration accountable.

For every $50 contribution, I will send you a copy of What Went Wrong in Ohio?(shown at left), signed by me, and recently published by the Academy Chicago Publishers. I do not make a penny off the sales of this book and this publication house published the book more as a public service than a money making venture. They did a great job. The book has an amazing forward by Gore Vidal and the text of my Ohio report.

If you can, please contribute today.

3. Sure, somewhere in the back of my head I heard a I need

What Went Wrong in Ohio plea....I donated to help get * out before 2008, and the book is a nice perk...since every time I buy a book by a politician I admire, I send them the book cover to autograph or catch them at rallies etc...this will be a good addition...

5. After two days without mention of the DSM hearing in the

local newspaper, it's nice to be reminded that it really happened and was not simply a figment of my imagination. I will contribute later today because I want to get some plants in the garden first before the rain gets here.

7. Thanks for posting this. My CafePress money went

to a great cause this month. John Conyers is a brave, amazing human being.

How sad that such ignorant people have to post comments. It's hilarious in a way because every last one of them sounds either totally insane or brain-damaged. They have no idea how stupid they sound do they?

11. I am doing that too

any money I make on cafe press stuff is going to help either votersunite.org or Impeachment related activities. <http://www.cafepress.com/bsbloodied> I'm not really an artist, haven't marked stuff up much but the buttons came out nice. If you hit the logo on top it goes to another page-buttons etc.-more from blog too. Also feel free to use any grphics for post cards- to media or congress.

13. Verify the Vote!!!

I fully support Conyers and the ousting of the Republican Neo-Cons, but unless there's a varifiable record of the vote, then I doubt that any amount of money will be able to do this.

Say NO to electronic voting!!! Demand a paper ballot!!!
Electronic voting machines should at least print a reciept so that the voter can verify their ballot is acurate, and then that reciept should be secured in order to verify the vote.
