1. I'm not sure I understand how they can do this
Don't the rules stipulate that all members of a committee with power of subpoena share that power equally?

We will have to sink our teeth into this and run with it.

4. Contact House Rules Committee, make your voice heard
http://www.house.gov/rules/feedback.htm

Demand that Democrats not participate unless this is bi-cameral with equal supeona power. Demand that Republicans stop playing politics.

6. They don't care. The GOP is moving to setup one-party rule...
and nothing will get in their way.



Well...nothing but a revolution.

7. Okay, tell me when they will release their "report"
Because I have a summary already: They will white-wash over FEMA's incompetence and place the blame on Blanco and Nagin, and Bush will be praised for being a Christian Man who "cares" 'bout 'dem Coloreds.
