Twenty-four members from the House signed a letter issued to the full House and Senate this afternoon in a last-minute bid to encourage the Senate to open discussion on the electoral vote tally Thursday, RAW STORY has learned.

The members signing were: John Conyers, Jr, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Jesse Jackson, Jr., Jim McDermott, Maxine Waters, Lynn Woolsey, Bernard Sanders, Eleanor H. Norton, Sam Farr, Chaka Fattah, Donald Payne, Anthony Weiner, Diane Watson, Barbara Lee, Elijah Cummings, Robert Wexler, Juanita Millender-McDonald, José E. Serrano, Major Owens, Danny K. Davis, Dennis J. Kucinich, Sheila Jackson Lee, William Clay, Jr. and Barney Frank.

Rep. Frank's signature was not included in this release because he signed it after it had been scanned.

31. One think tank named Kucinich the Congressman of the Year

Their American Hero list (halfway down the site on the right) from 2004 includes Jim McDermott and Maxine Waters as well as Dennis Kucinich. Glad to see these three on the list.

That site is patrickhenrythinktank.org

[Vektor]

32. Look at all those beautiful signatures....I have heard...

People say that being a Senator is so much more high profile, holds so much more prestige....bla bla bla....

It's our House Members that are busting-ass, and fighting balls out for us.

They deserve a round of applause!

We'll see what the Senate deserves from us tomorrow!!

[DoYouEverWonder]

35. Kucinich signing on is very significant

first he is from Ohio, were the worst of the election fraud took place and he is the only one who had also been a candidate for President.

He's definitely one of the best.

36. Google "joint session contest electoral votes"

and see what the first thing is to come up. The freeps are going crazy, I guess. I didn't go over there. Haha.
