I want to thank John Conyers for giving me hope and making me feel proud
again to be an American.What looked like a simple act of a petition to the hegemon, turned out instead to be a massive resistance movement against the fool.With Cindy Sheehan's righteous wrath adding fuel to our anger, John Conyers reminded me nothing so much as Gandhi offering his nonviolent resistance to the British rulers in India. At first Gandhi too was dismissed as inconsequential by the British.When the tsunami of anger rose up aginst them, the British had no choice.This is what Gandhi called the Force of Truth. That Force is going to overwhelm the current rulers who believe in ends justify the means, might is right and of course, in the power of money.

John, Cindy, from the bottom of our grateful hearts thank you both.

4. The other guests and the congresspeople were excellent, also. It was
an extreme high in our depraved right wing PNAC and cabal world. Even if it came out of a basement. Long live the basement world of Dems and Greens and Libs and Indies and all those who don't even know what went on. Honor the basement and rise to the ultimate top - for the people.

5. Conyers gets things done by speaking with a soft, yet commanding voice.
Compare that to Little Boots, whose shrill, petulant voice gives away the fact he is incapable of commanding anything without the threat of retribution.
