Conyers: Academy Chicago Publ. Prints "What Went Wrong In Ohio"

[Wilms]

Breaking Through?

The Ohio Report is Published, the Nuclear Option
And a Strange Day in Washington

I, along with many of you, have decried the lack of media coverage of the Downing Street memo. That may be turning around.

Tonight, CNN posted a story, though I am not aware if it has made on on the air. Please let me know if you have seen it. The LA Times has a very good piece as well. On the media front, my message to you is to pat yourselves on the back and then get back to work. Letters, calls and emails to your local newspapers and national media outlets make a difference. The Washington Post and New York Times have yet to cover this story in any serious fashion. Where is MSNBC? When Fox covers it in any serious way...that's when we take a break.

In other news, what has become known as the Conyers report (the House Judiciary Committee Democratic Staff's report, What Went Wrong in Ohio?) has been published. I received a complimentary copy today and, frankly, I was touched by the effort that must have gone into it. In addition to the report, which I suspect many of you have read, there is a truly humbling and amazing forward to the report by Gore Vidal, one of the great writers and thinkers of our time, and a really kind blurb about the book by former Senator Bob Kerrey, an American hero, who most recently served so nobly on the 9/11 Commission.

Call your local bookseller and give them the ISBN number.
