Conyers hearing....feel like I'm watching a football game!
I can't stop jumping up...pumping my fist...and screaming at the top of my lungs.

Am I the only one?

The one representing the C/B recount in Ohio?
I don't know his name, but I liked him too. Was he the one who ended with the Gandhi quote? Anyone who quotes Gandhi has my attention.

4. Not at all. When I cheered for Arnbeck one of my kids came running
in to the room and asked if the Patriots were on.

9. I'm hearing undertones of Tracy Chapman: (It sounds like a *WHISPER*)


Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution (It sounds like a whisper)
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution (It sounds like a whisper)

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around wait for a promotion

Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution (It sounds like a whisper)
Poor people gonna rise up (Talkin' about a revolution)
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs
So you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Finally the tables are starting to turn (Talkin' about a revolution)
Talkin' bout a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn (Talkin' about a revolution)
Talkin' bout a revolution (Oh)
Talkin' bout a revolution (Oh)

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around wait for a promotion

Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution (It sounds like a whisper)
Finally the tables are starting to turn (Talkin' about a revolution)
Talkin' bout a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn (Talkin' about a revolution)

23. That's funny. I keep hearing the Tracy Chapman song that goes
If not now, then when?
If not today, then why make your promises?
A deed in the days to come
is as good as none.

If not now, then when?

This hearing has me fired up! I haven't had this much hope since we almost stopped that stupid war. Conyers rocks! Hope the rest of the party will get behind him this time. We can't afford to let this one pass. Looking four years down the road is pointless when there's no vote and no freedom of the press. Gotta fight it NOW!

12. I feel as if we are finally being heard
Thanks to all here at DU for sustaining a very depressed person for over 30 days with information and hard work that showed that all our hard work prior to the election was not in vain

Hilary Shelton of the NAACP is really letting them have it about minority disenfranchisement.

22. I can't wait to get home
and watch my tape of the first 6 hours so I can hear everything. Reminds me of being glued to the set during the Thomas hearings -- only way better! The MSM can't ignore this tonight.

24. a pep rally
I don't know. I am hearing that we need a constitutional amendment. that people had to wait in line a long time. that all the votes need to be counted. and that machines are unreliable. but I don't see the proof of fraud that I thought this hearing would be about.
