250K SIGNATURES REACHED!!! Onward to 1/2 million+
Thanks to MoveOn, John Conyers letter to the administration, with at least 97 Congressional Representative signatures, now has over 250K citizens signed on to force the administration to come clean and tell the truth.

Here's the link if you haven't signed it yet:

Thank you Congressman Conyers, and Thank you MoveOn!

15. Question from me
If you signed the Conyers letter you don't have to sign this one right? Or are they two different letters?

11. I reloaded the page several times got a cycle of three numbers
I don't know if that is typical of that sort of counter or not.

It surprised me when the number went down so I kept clicking on reload and discovered the cycle.

6. Right on the link I posted
There is a red bar and right underneath that red bar it says something like:

"We've achieved 51 % of our 500,000 goal (259,031)!"

E MAILS, CALLS, WRITE LETTERS, EVEN JUST PUTTING A LINK IN AN E MAIL TO FRIENDS, CORRESPONDENCE, TELL GRANDMA!!!!!!! NEWSPAPERS, BLOGS, RADIO, LOCAL TV NEWS, SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET TO THE MICHAEL JACKSON CIRCUS WITH A FEW SIGNS OUTSIDE THAT STATE 'DOWNING STREET MINUTES' .... coooooooooool. peace. :)

24. Wow It's gone up to 326,325
It's gone up over 1,000 votes in just a couple of minutes I think Conyers will have 500,000 easily. I wouldn't be surprised if it hit 1 million.

Yay for MoveOn and Conyers!
:woohoo:

28. question
I hope this isn't a dumb question, but is Moveon's (soon to be!) 500K in addition to those that Conyers got at his website or are all of these added together?

29. All added together.
Everyone has to go to Conyers site to sign the same petition. His staff is verifying the e-mail addresses to make sure they are separate and distinct persons.

ultra-conservative southern Baptist relatives information as signatories. I won't do it, but damn it would be soooo easy.

33. Just to put this into perspective...
Is 500,000 signatures considered a great deal? Or is it a "respectful number?" Or just a standard amount?

How does this compare with similar actions in the past? I can't think of any offhand but wonder if this is "average" or something moving up and off the charts...

I sense this is BIG!!!...enlighten me!
