An update from Conyers

[Mnemosyne]

:hi: I just received this from Conyers:

"Thank you for all your efforts. I truly, truly appreciate the work you have put in over the weekend. Please continue to spread the word and gather signatures--and let us know if there is anything that we can do for you.
The good news is that thousands of citizens have signed on to the Downing Street letter over the weekend. The bad news is that it will take our technicians a few days to make a final count. Rest assured, when we do gather the 100,000 names, you will hear about it.
Thank you again,
JC "

So, it will be a couple days at least before we know any figures.
It tells us that we have all done a great job gathering signatures! But we must keep it up! If there is even the slimmest chance that this will help put * and his cabal behind bars, we must not waver.


If you have questions:

If you haven't signed or passed it on yet:

Thanks for all you are doing!

Imagine!

1. Thanks for the update

I don't hold alot of hope anything will come of it but who know?

[BigBearJohn]

2. Maybe we could ask him if he needs help counting!!!????

Just don't let Diebold do it!

[EnfantTerrible]

3. Thanks for the update.

:thumbsup:

4. Silly question in regards to signing it

Does everyone feel comfortable giving name, address and email address?

[Bluzmann57]

8. Can't speak for others

but I signed it and gave my real name, etc. Yes, I am comfortable doing that. It legitimizes it if all the info is real.

[Wilms]

9. I'm a "Merkun", too.

Stand up proud and be counted!

[TeeYiYi]

10. I gave my real name, real address and real email addy. nt

TYY

[NYC]

12. I do.

I sign a lot of online petitions. These are things I would have been willing to send in letter form with my name and address.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. Same here

Sometimes you can't be too overly paranoid. I'd rather risk it and have a voice. I hope there's enough!

[fooj]

13. I thought of that, myself...

then I remembered this quote...

"Very few people are willing to die on their feet as opposed to living on their knees."

This is my country. Our country. If I can't muster up the courage to stand and fight, who the hell will? This entire situation is BEYOND scary! It is time to do the right thing and stand up for what we believe in---no matter what the cost! IMO, it is time to show these IMPOSTERS what TRUE PATRIOTISM is all about!


TRUTH IS OUR MOST POWERFUL WEAPON!


peace.

[Mnemosyne]

15. This is a problem for some,

and it is understandable. However, if we don't stand up and be counted it would leave Mr.Conyers alone in his quest for truth.

The fact that there are people afraid to sign makes a huge statement of the place we are in with this administration.

Being afraid to sign is the exact reason we need to sign! I'll be damned if those nazis will destroy my freedoms anymore than they have already!



:hi:

[karlrschneider]

26. After all the letters I've sent to Chimp with my real name,

I don't think this will make much difference. Actually, I'm amazed the SS hasn't paid me a visit already...
:grr:

[ChiciB1]

27. Not A Problem!

Can't wait to get on the "Enemies List"!

[LizW]

30. I paused, briefly

But then I remembered about all ny donations and magazine subscriptions and book purchases and online activity. If they want to come after me, I'm pretty much already exposed as a lefty. But the thing that makes that less likely is if we all stand together.

Giving my real name and address is the least I can do when others are dying because of Bush's lies.

5. Conyers rocks

He's using dailykos to communicate directly and I for one
appreciate it because I can now read the details of what's going on
in the House (at least from his perspective).

Right on damn it!

The Internet can be used as a democratization tool and instead of
those congress reps. just getting their coporate money and doing
what their corporate donors want, they could be doing the right thing
and representing their constituents by simply using the Internet to
reach the people.

Plus the Downing Street Memo really is damning...worse than Watergate
and is flying completely under the table of corporate media (of course).

6. I wish that Dean would go through Daily Kos, it's such a good idea

[Mnemosyne]

19. Do you have that link Robert?

I'd like to read what he is saying there.

Thanks!:hi:

[Robert Oak]

22. Conyers DailyKos diary link

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/5/29/121914/591

General link to Representative Conyers diaries:

http://www.dailykos.com/user/Congressman%20John%20Conyers

I really like it when they get on the blogs and "interact"
(versus speech post)...exceptional.

plus he clearly got the word out on the downing street memo with this..
so effective too.

[Mnemosyne]

24. Thanks so much!

:hi: :kick:

[Mnemosyne]

29. He is so brilliant and caring!

Thanks for the link to KOS Robert!

20. Thank you much goclark! n/t

:hi:

[Just Me]

11. Surely to goodness we have collected at least 100K by now!!!

Of course, ripples do take some time to gather into waves. But, seriously, I can't imagine that there are less than 100K signatures by now.

[Mnemosyne]

17. Hopefully that is why

it is going to take so long!:woohoo:

[DearAbby]

14. Drop Kick this thread...to the moon

:kick: Sign, takes a few minutes.

[Mnemosyne]

18. To the Moon and to Congress and to

the Hague!! :applause: :woohoo:

[goclark]

21. Kick it harder!

We must get those signatures for Conyers... go, go go!

[Mnemosyne]

23. If we all keep it up

this will work! I'm going to repost this regularly until we have all needed signatures, hopefully more!:hi: :kick:

We need people posting it round the clock to make sure that those that don't have time or go any further than the Latest 1st or 2nd page will be sure to see it. Some may never check GD or the Greatest.

[goclark]

25. Kick it to ALL your email buddies - thanks!

[Mnemosyne]

28. Done and done!

Server problems Sunday and Monday, I had problems connecting and gave up after trying many, many times...)
