Supporting Congressman John Conyers, Jr. | ||

About TeamConyersBlog Congressman John Conyers asked the blogging community to help him build his time line for his report, the Constitution in Crisis, and in preparation for hearings on the Downing Street Minutes in the summer of 2005. At the same time, Erik and I started SoapBox4Truth.org activism web site. I wrote a program to help with the research effort and loaded it onto Soapbox. Many volunteers from the ranks of ConyersBlog pitched in and we did quite a bit of research. By December of 2005, the timeline was completed and Congressman Conyers released his report. After the release of this report, we channeled our energy into making thousands of contacts to elected officials, many published letters to editors, and supported candidates in every way that we could and took on other projects to help raise awareness of issues about which we felt strongly. From this small band of activists, we have organized into a young and active force for democracy. We've had many interested folks join our efforts. As an organiztion now, we continue to roll. We invite you to roll with us. If you haven't suited up in the TeamConyersBlog uniform, it's time to do so. The Locker Room We meet every Saturday in The TeamConyersBlog Locker Room at noon Central Time. We enjoy sharing ideas, views and humor. We have robust debates.

Statement of Interim Policy As longtime supporters of JC, we want to appeal to all ConyersBloggers to set aside our differences, anger and frustration for the Holiday Season and express support for JC, or at the very least, express understanding of the difficult position he is in until a new House Judiciary Chairman is named. We'll join this temporary Holiday truce, post supporting comments on CB, and set aside our own disgust for the next 6 weeks. We challenge our fellow veteran ConyersBloggers to do the same. If JC is not named Judiciary Chairman, we will meet to work out a course of action to confront Pelosi et al. If he is, he needs to begin investigations very quickly and come out swinging. If that doesn't happen, then we will open discussion on how to confront JC. We exend our warmest welcome to the new members of ConyersBlog and hope you will join us at ConyersBlog and at Soapbox4Truth. | |||
