37. (grin) I know.
If it weren't for all the posts preceding it, I could've probably resisted the temptation. But I just couldn't. Call me weak. Timing is everything ... and the thread just screamed for it. It was my duty.

21. Ok they are done.
First of all John Conyers rocks. The other day I posted this one DU

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=46329&mesg_id=46329

Then we started calling and leaving messages with our concerns. So John called my husband. They discussed the above issues. My husband explained this to John Conyers. He wants us to email more information on this issue and he said someone maybe calling us from his office in regards for further information. He also stated that on his website there are a list of infractions this administration has done. My hubby told him about being on DU and it being our news source. He agreed that technology of today allows us to get the real news off the internet. Hubby told him how proud that we all are of him in his dedication for the people. Hubby said we will do everything in our power to help him. We have left our phone number many times with congressman and senators and never have been contacted personally. What a shock. Conyers Rocks.

35. He said that Mary Butler
is the lead prosecutor in the case is very competent and that it appears that there pursuing this case very professionally. But he does see our concerns with Alic Fisher. He will be following this case.

43. Suggestion: Post a new thread and title it something like "Rep Conyers ...
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 05:30 PM by understandinglife
... and my husband just discussed the Alice Fisher, Abramoff issue ..."

Then you can summarize your important post (and comments received):
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=46329&mesg_id=46329

And, inform everyone what the Congressman told your husband. Thank you for all you are doing.

I'm glad your husband had a good chat with him. How wonderful of Conyers to take time to call him. I love how in tune he is with people from things like that, to his website blog to going on radio shows and talking to people. :)

32. You know the funny thing about this is John Conyers is not
in our district. We have R-Mike Rogers. Hubby told John that we will work to get Rogers out of office. :bounce: I answered the phone and I knew who it was by his voice. I got all excited and passed the phone to the hubby. LOL

of contacting elected officials I received one hand written note in return.
That was from Cynthia McKinney another one of our finest reps.

Conyers is absolutely wonderful.
I don't know what we would do without him.


& Thanks for your efforts in this! :applause:

39. That's hilarious. Conyers does have an very distinctive voice.
I'd certainly bug out if I heard it on the other end of the phone. Tooo funny.

45. I am a Senselessbrenner district resident as well
All I know is that Brian Kennedy made a stab at him in 2004 - haven't heard a peep since. This area is so solidly Rethug that I despair.
