Urgent : Let's Do "Each One Reach + One More" For Conyers
Edited on Tue May-31-05 09:39 PM by goclark


John Conyers is giving us a rare opportunity to get our country back!
All he is asking us to do is get those signature.


We have got to get EVERYONE to sign this letter.
It just takes a minute and means so much.:bounce:

BigBearJohn suggested that we start a new thread just in case there is anyone on DU that has not given 100% to this effort. :bounce:


As BigBearJohn said," If everyone here gets at least ONE additional person to sign the letter,consider what we can accomplish.":bounce:

As soon as you know that everyone but your dog FIDO has submitted the response, please add a +1/+2/+3/+20 etc. in the subject line so we can celebrate!:toast:

CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY!

And please remember to keep it K I C K ED all night!!

1. I've been doing the personal approach
Showing people at work the www.downingstreetmemo.com site and suggesting they read about it (since no one has a clue what it's about) and consider signing. At least one person confirmed to me they signed.

I consider it an educational mission.

7. I just emailed 10 people about this
To get them to sign. Not all my friends are DUers, and we need to get as many people to sign as we can to get this ball rolling...

If you have non-DU friends, I suggest you email them.

here's what I sent my friends:


The 2004 Election is long over, but things would likely be different today had we known then what we know only 6 months later.

In early May, a document was released by the British Government called the 'Downing Street Memo' http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1632566,00.html >.

Unfortunately, you probably have not heard about it because the U.S. media has blacked out coverage of this topic. But the world media has NOT ignored it.

What this document says is that our administration illegally colluded with the British government to 'FIX the Intelligence' to justify going to war. They knew Iraq didn't have WMDs, they knew they were not an imminent threat, and yet, today, over 100,000 Iraqi civilians and over 1600 American soldiers, are dead because the Bush Administration lied to the American people, to our representatives in Congress and to the World in order to go to war with Iraq.

It gets much worse than a lie. According to more recently released British intelligence, the Bush Administration and the British military began secret military strikes against Iraq in order to get them to violate standing U.N. Security Council Resolutions, in a failed attempt to get the U.N.S.C. to support a war with Iraq http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1632566,00.html>.

This country is going to Hell in a hand basket, and no one knows it because the media has been bought-and-paid-for by the administration. Thankfully, some people have taken notice and are doing something about it. Representative John Conyers has started the steps necessary for Impeachment. But he can't do it alone. We need many people to start banging the table, calling for an investigation. He needs 100,000 signatures and over the holiday weekend, Conyers got 56,000.

This is where I need your help. I need you to:

1. Sign the letter at John Conyer's website: http://www.johnconyers.com/index.asp?Type=SUPERFORMS&SEC={02B6BC7C-96EF-4512-BCE8-7E3FCDE046BA}
2. Write your own Congressmen (for an example of a letter, here is what I sent to my congressmen: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1813586&mesg_id=1813586&page=
3. Write letters to your papers.
4. Tell people about the memo.
5. Send this email to everyone you know.

Don't go quietly along with an administration that would take us illegally into war. Stand up and be a patriot today. The time has come to be not only outraged, but focus that anger and use it constructively to act and do what is right. If you don't think things are getting bad, just ask someone who has seen it all before, about 70 years ago: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3756949

Thank you for your help,

12. I signed a couple of days ago and passed it on.
I literally begged people to keep it going.

I'm behind John Conyers 100 percent on this. We've finally got a guy who's demanding answers and begging us to simply take 1 minute and sign our name to his letter. Without the media, we've only got DU and the bloggers to fight this one. This is the opportunity I've been waiting and hoping for.

You really inspired us.

I just ran off little flyers that give the website for johnconyers and a little about the Downing Memo.

Wish I had a way to do some black and white graphics...real small, that would fit easily on a business card.

I want to pass them out today and leave them in shopping carts etc.

Any help with flyer ideas would be appreciated.
We need to have it short,catchy and sweet!
