Something to look forward to

[FreedomAngel82]

If the democrats take back the House here's something to look forward to. This is info from a recent MoveOn Email.

* Nancy Pelosi—a progressive—becomes Speaker of the House of Representatives.

* John Murtha—a veteran and anti-war champion—would become chair of the House subcommittee on defense appropriations. He would be in charge of the budget for the war in Iraq.

* John Conyers—who forced a national debate on the Downing Street Memos—would be chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

* Henry Waxman would be chairman of the Government Reform committee—he has a bulls-eye on war profiteers like Halliburton.

* Barney Frank—who has led efforts to rein in out-of-control CEO pay—would be in charge of the Financial Services Committee.

* David Obey—who led opposition to the Republican budget—would be chair of the House Appropriations committee—protecting Medicaid, food stamps, veteran's benefits, student loans and more.

* Charles Rangel—who predicted the Medicare debacle—would be chair of the House Ways and Means committee—protecting Social Security.

* George Miller—a big advocate for working people—would be chair of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and could bring a vote to raise the minimum wage.

4. To really look forward...

Let's also think about the impeachment and conviction in the Senate of both Bush and Cheney, to be followed by the swearing-in of President Pelosi. :party:

6. Except * has a friend as Chief Justice

7. Doesn't matter if Satan himself presided over impeachment

The Senate itself is the one that runs the trial and conviction.

5. Hallelujah!!!! The only way the Dems wouldn't get control is voting fraud

and there are too many people who won't let that happen:bounce:

8. I hope you are right

Not getting my hopes up though. Can't see they would let it happen as above.

9. Sounds good to me. All of those listed are good people.

10. Oh God yes, take back the House!

Even if we can't get the rug nut out of office, it will neutralize him for the rest of his term.
