Is Hyde reachable?

[paineinthearse]

We are all familiar with the magnificent work done by Rep. John Conyers, utilizing the resources of the democratic staff of the House Judiciary Committee - http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/index.html

However, the full committee will not act on his findings and take no action at all unless Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R) Wisconsin, 5th directs the full committee to do so. I believe we can appeal to his better sense of duty. In 1972, many republican members of the HJC voted in favor of articles of impeachment against Nixon. In addition to the preponderance of the evidence, these representatives did so not so due to their oath to "protect, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, both foreign and domestic...".

I ask you to contact Rep. Hyde. Make an appointment to visit his home or DC office.

1. i doubt it, but

he ought to have to answer the question- what about the rule of law, henry? so everyone should ask him.
i don't think he will run again.

2. Shouting down a well would have more effect.

Hyde is unreachable, unreasonable, and immensely corrupt.

3. Better off contacting Sensenbrenner

To be fair, he has exhibited a degree of independence, and a willingness to let the Democrats get their bills, amendments, and so forth into committee. And, given the White House and GOP leadership's anger with him right now, he might not give a shit if he pisses them off more.
