John Conyers:Impeachment, the Constitution in Crisis, Election Reform

Year-End Stories; Impeachment, the Constitution in Crisis, Election Reform, Torture Memos
Happy New Year

There is really no let up to the issues were covering and pushing.
First, impeachment continues in the news. Molly Ivins has an excellent and timely editorial, the Detroit Metro Times weighs in with a good story on my censure and select committee resolutions, and Hazel Trice Edney has a useful piece on the latest impeachment buzz from the Chicago Defender and other African American newspapers.

Second, thanks again to David Swanson of CensureBush.org, who has posted more articles from our Constitution in Crisis Report. The latest two concern the work we have done to definitively confirm and corroborate the accuracy of the Downing Street Minutes (via Bradblog), as well as the clear evidence of pressure brought to bear on the CIA by the Bush Administration to manipulate intelligence in the run up to the Iraq War (via oped news).

Third, the New York Times has a good editorial entitled "Conspiring Against the Voters" noting that Bush has audaciously placed Hans von Spakovsky at the Federal Election Commission, who reportedly was involved in overruling the career DOJ staff to rubberstamp Tom DeLay's Texas gerrymander as well as the purging of legal voters in Florida in 2000. We must never forget that the reason we have the mess we do today is because of the massive irregularities in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. In that regard, let me highly commend to you all Mark Crispin Miller's excellent book on the 2004 election entitled "Fooled Again" (via Amazon).

Fourth, I am now focusing on the torture memos (via RawStory) released by former British Diplomat Craig Murray describing torture and misuse of the information. Let me know your thoughts about the implications of these memos and what can or should be done about it. It has been an amazing year for us. We began by investigating and reporting on the Ohio election fraud, we launched the ConyersBlog, we fought the GOP on Schiavo, we investigated the Downing Street Minutes, we staved off a one-sided Patriot Act extension, and finished the year with our Constitution in Crisis Report. And we're just beginning -- we will launch our drive to the Majority next year, which I hope will be the year of accountability for the Republicans as well. Thanks for your support and happy new year.

as we in the trench's are suffering very badly, the elderly and disabled watch prices going up so high that its a struggle to make each dollar stretch as far as they can, while either giving up meals or medicines or seeing a doctor hoping that what ever ails them will go away. Then theres all the workers left wondering if this is the year their jobs goes over seas and knowing they have nothing to replace what they lose. We the People are hurting out here and its starting to leave us feeling hopeless when we turn on the news and see that the big story is about who blew the whistle on Bush instead of the crime Bush committed.

who will be first i wonder?

I am sure many probably consider him a CTer, though :eyes:
