so who will have the balls to schedule a SENATE hearing . . .
on the Downing Street minutes? . . .

calling all Democratic senators! -- John Conyers is making you all look like a bunch of chickenshits, corporate whores, and/or BushCo enablers (pick one) . . .

you KNOW the truth, Senators . . . now DO SOMETHING about it! . . . dammit! . . .

I thought everything had to start in the House? I didn't know the Senate could call a hearing too! Can they do that if they want to? If they can, WHY the hell aren't we screaming?

2. Conyers is the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee
This is how he can hold these hearings.

His equivalent in the Senate is Patrick Leahy. Call him and ask him to hold the hearings.

4. it's amazing how only a FEW Dems take a stand for "truth".....
Every single dem's should be standing behind this effort ....ALL should have marched to the WH and demanded an INQUIRY.

5. Well, she doesn't technically have any...
but my guess would be Barbara Boxer. :)

And yes, this is partly my way of gently chiding you for implying that courage requires balls. :hi:

6. Given Clinton's advice on Letterman on the subject
(ignore it), I would not hold my breath on something happening though.
