The Beckerman was in this forum just the other day.

I used to live in the district Conyers represents. So did my Grandparents. It includes 8 Mile Road, Detroit, made famous by Eminem. I used to hang out there too.

7. Me too. It was my introduction to him and I was hooked immediately

Something similar happened during the unraveling of the Watergate scandal. Members of Congress who were little known became national spokespersons and heroes for standing up to the corruption and pursuing truth. In dark times like these, heroes become even more important to keep spirits up and provide rallying points.

Congressman Conyers Asks Justice Department to Appoint Special Counsel to Investigate Ohio

Congressman Conyers Has Asked the Justice Department to Appoint a Special Counsel to Investigate Possible Criminal Conduct in Connection with the Ohio 2004 Election by J. Kenneth Blackwell.

In this detailed letter, Conyers stated that through the House Judiciary Democrats' investigation, they had learned of "numerous instances of voter intimidation and misinformation,improper purging, caging of minority voters, misuse of Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funds, voting machine tampering, perjury, and most recently, potential misuse of the federal seal in a campaign solicitation by Ohio Secretary of State Blackwell. Since this and other apparent violations by the Secretary of State presents such an obvious conflict for your office, we would ask that you appoint a special counsel to investigate this matter."
