	[No title]
		Congressman Conyers belongs to the radical Progressive Caucus, and in 1969 he was one of 13 co-founders of the Congressional Black Caucus in the House of Representatives.
		Conyers has authored a bill to study the economic harm done to descendants of slaves, the results of which research will lay the basis for demanding that potentially trillions of dollars in reparations be paid by American taxpayers to fl Americans.
		Conyers' issues have the potential to put Republicans on the defensive or at least waste their time and resources, and to provide a rallying point for leftists and Islamists worldwide who are eager to undermine and discredit the war on terrorism and the President leading it.

	Congressman John Conyers Talks About Bush Lying America Into War and His Campaign to Hold Bush Accountable
		John Conyers, Jr.: Exactly, what you’re saying indicates that the more we look around, the more we investigate and research, and the more information that comes forward, it all supports the declassified British intelligence document that was the subject of at least two articles in the Times of London.
		John Conyers, Jr.: Yes, it was clear that these bombings were intensified after May, way before the United States resolution gave the coalition the legal basis for war.
		John Conyers, Jr.: Well, the next thing that needs to be done is that we need to talk with some of the people in London in the Prime Minister’s top echelons of government and others around there in London about this whole subject matter.

		Conyers fear is that if he cannot stop bush he will quickly succeed in destroying Saddam and freeing his people and so marginalise anti-American-fanatics like Conyers who prefer a single star on a red background to the red white and blue of American liberty.
		Conyers' dishonesty and his contempt for national security was highlighted by his support for Charles Rangel's suggestion to bring back the draft for the sole purpose of causing dissent in the army and violent divisions in the community.

		Conyers is doing his job as a member of Congress, the media’s job as an investigative force, and the Democratic party’s job in opposing the Republicans.

	Conyers vs. The Post
		The Conyers letter, like the thousands of communications from grassroots activists to media outlets across this country pressing for serious coverage of the "Downing Street Memo" and the broader debate about the Bush Administration's doctoring of intelligence prior to the launch of the Iraq war, is an essential response to our contemporary media crisis.
		John Conyers is just one of a few politicians I respect in our government.

	Democracy Now! \| The Downing Street Memo Comes To Washington; Conyers Blasts "Deafening Sound of Silence"
		We speak with Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) who is convening a public hearing tomorrow in Washington on the so-called Downing Street Memo and other newly released documents that he says show the Bush administration's "efforts to cook the books on pre-war intelligence." We also speak with former CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
		JOHN CONYERS: Well, we have been precluded, as you have suggested, but flash, this just in: We think that we're going to be able to get a room for the hearing inside the Capitol.
		JOHN CONYERS: Miss Goodman, the problem with the media in the United States is that it's been intimidated, seduced, and in other words brought under the thrall of this administration like no other time in my 40-year experience here in Washington, D.C. It's incredible.

	Blogcritics.org: John Conyers, Turkeys and the Downing Street Memo
		A Conyers staff member who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal told the Free Press that Grubbs and her cousin, Conyers' Detroit deputy chief of staff Marion Brown, along with a former Conyers aide, DeWayne Boyd, picked up the turkeys and later gave contradictory accounts of what happened to the birds.
		Robert, perhaps the problem is that Conyers sounds and acts insane when he rants about reparations and impeachment, and the things Bush says make sense to anyone who hasn't based their entire worldview on alarmist propaganda.
		John should be in jail awaiting execution along with all the other cons in the government that seditiously remain purposefully ineffective.

	t r u t h o u t - Conyers to Object to Ohio Electors, Requests Senate Allies
		Representative John Conyers, ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, will object to the counting of the Ohio Electors from the 2004 Presidential election when Congress convenes to ratify those votes on January 6th.
		Conyers is taking this dramatic step because he believes the allegations and evidence of election tampering and fraud render the current slate of Ohio Electors illegitimate.

	Raising the Issue of Impeachment
		U.S. Representative John Conyers, the Michigan Democrat who was a critical player in the Watergate and Iran-Contra investigations into presidential wrongdoing, has introduced a package of resolutions that would censure President Bush and Vice President Cheney and create a select committee to investigate the Administration's possible crimes and make recommendations regarding grounds for impeachment.
		It is this power that John Conyers, the senior member of the House committee charged with maintaining the system of checks and balances established by those founders, is now asking the Congress to employ in the service of the nation that Constitution still governs.
		An expanded paperback edition of John Nichols' biography of Vice President Dick Cheney, The Rise and Rise of Richard B. Cheney: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Most Powerful Vice President in American History (The New Press: 2005), is available nationwide at independent bookstores and at www.amazon.com.

	John Conyers, Jr. -- ConyersBlog
		While the book will not be published until early Spring 2006, we wanted to offer Conyersblog readers the opportunity to pre-order an autographed copy of the book in exchange for a $60 contribution to the Congressman's campaign.
		The response is as follows: "Republican National Committee spokeswoman Ann Marie Hauser said if Conyers 'spent half the time condemning terrorism that he does condemning the President of the United States, he would be a credible voice in the war on terror.'" I was a little disappointed at the half-heartedness of the response.
		My favorite is William Pitt at Truthout, who wrote, " Rep. John Conyers and the Democratic staff of the House Judiciary Committee have compiled a massively detailed, impeccably-researched report on the activities of this administration titled "The Constitution in Crisis: The Downing Street Minutes and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution, and Coverups in the Iraq War."

		John Conyers, D-Mich., has called for an independent investigation of Bush's and Cheney's business dealings.
		Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., stepped up the political attack on the Bush administration when, last weekend, he called for an independent investigation into President Bush and Vice President Cheney's business dealings before they came to the White House, a call he reiterated Thursday night on CNN's "Crossfire."
		No other Democrats have echoed Conyers' call for an independent investigator to look into Bush's Harken/Rangers deal, but many seem to be testing the waters to see if the public would embrace such investigations.

		John Conyers often comments that people who have been covicted of a felony cannot vote in Michigan.
		It may also be stated that Conyers district(s) that he has represented over the past 40 years has lost more people than any other district in the U.S. The phrase "votes with ones feet" most certainly applies here.
		Conyers is a sad, pathetic relic and very much a willing tool of the radical anti-American haters.
