Conyers appeals for Contributions to help with his work

[Terre]

I posted this in another thread and have been asked to make it a separate post.

Congressman Conyers is in need of monetary help. Please visit his blog. http://www.conyersblog.us/

I'm sure he won't mind my posting this:

As regular readers of this blog know, I have never asked for a contribution on it. Today, I am compelled to break that pristine record. Raising money is an unfortunate reality of politics and, when you do not side with corporations and other special interests on legislation, you turn to ordinary Americans for help.

Today, I ask for your help in raising money for my re-election campaign and to help elect other Democrats so that we can end Republican rule of the House of Representatives, one party rule in Washington, and finally hold this Administration accountable.

For every $50 contribution, I will send you a copy of What Went Wrong in Ohio?(shown above), signed by me, and recently published by the Academy Chicago Publishers. I do not make a penny off the sales of this book and this publication house published the book more as a public service than a money making venture. They did a great job. The book has an amazing forward by Gore Vidal and the text of my Ohio report.

If you can, please contribute today.

Personally, I think it's the least I can do, and hope the rest of you feel the same.

6. Thank you, Terre!

I'm nominating like I said I would. I realize the other thread is already on the greatest page, but I don't break my word and I love John Conyers.

7. You're a sweetie

and if I had bothered to look, I'd have see paine's.

Anyway, even if they don't get combined, my title appeals to contributions for moolah, as opposed to making the book the issue.

Not everyone can afford to pay $50, although I scraped up the money to own a piece of history.
