I signed John Conyers letter without regrets could there be retaliation?
I would do it again, and have encouraged my family to sign on. Knowing the Bush administration history for viscousness, could there be retaliation for our stand? How could they retaliate?

One King George condemned the signers of the Declaration of Independence. I take the Conyers petition as seriously.

I stand with John Conyers.

1. Blacked listed?
First to be burned at the stake? Who knows? I doubt he'd do anything since the media is now beginning to cover it some.

18. I'm flying Sunday morning. I'll let you know if I'm double, triple checked

I refuse to take off my clothes. If they want to pat me down, well, I hope they have fun. I'll deal with that. I had a friend who had to take off her clothes down to her underwear and that I will not do.

Yes. I signed Rep. Conyer's petition quite awhile ago, and I know my name is in many, many other Democratic places. I'll admit to having a brief hestitation at one point, but then I decided that whatever happened, it would be worth it.

19. Part of me thinks they will look at the names on that petition.
Nothing suprises me, when they say they will not pay attention to the petition knowing how they lie confirms it for me. Data bases are easy to fill for future reference.

3. Maybe
I wouldn't be suprised. There have been people busted for a lot less.

4. I signed it in 48 pt type so that GW could read it without his glasses on
Or at least I would have, if I had been able to set the font size when I signed it.

I have no fear about retaliation. In fact, it would be nice to confront The Beast face to face for once...Bring It On.

WE THE PEOPLE .... WILL NEVER FORGET

Peace.

5. You must always stand up against a rogue government....
that is out of control. We are 550,000 strong and if there was more time there would be millions and millions of signatures. Remember, "Live Free or Die".

9. I think 560,000 is too many for them to make a big deal out of it
I think we should all email the WH that we are awaiting a response (I just did).
