URGENT! Rep Conyers NEEDS one million emails NOW!
Rep. John Conyers, who is leading the Congressional investigations in Ohio, needs your help NOW. He is asking for one million emails from the American public demanding that the House Judiciary Committee hold full hearings on the 2004 Election.

Full hearings are essential, because that will give the Committee subpoena powers — until now, Blackwell and others have been able to simply ignore Rep. Conyers' demands for information — because the GOP Committee Chairman has refused to convene a full hearing. YOU can change that. Send your message now! Tell a friend to write an email, too. PLEASE TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!! :kick:

We're talking about redirecting to the House Repubs, ie. Sensenbrenner.

Conyers: stop crushing our mailbox

The following message was forwared to us last night. It speaks for itself.

If you would like to substitute e-mailing to Conyers for tormenting Republicans, please come to http://www.usvip.org and help with our action request.

Thanks


Dear Ms. XXXX,

Our office has appreciated the response it has received regarding the voting problems in Ohio, however these emails while send with the best of intentions are clogging our email and requiring us to spend hours filtering these emails into the proper folders. We as democrats can talk about election reform, but in the House it is Majority rules and the only people who can really reform the voting process to ensure each vote is accurately counted are the Republicans.

If activists focused their efforts on getting R.'s to work for some kind of voting reform that would help the cause much more. I encourage you to contact your member of Congress, and if you like the Judiciary R.'s (although Members of Congress often only read respond to their own constituents communications), to support election reform and transparency.


Sincerely,

Matthew M. Thome
Representative John Conyers, Jr.
Legislative Correspondent

...emails to that specific address. It's not Conyers personal address. It's for the judiciary committee. If it wasnt' valid, the Green party wouldn't have put it up a few hours ago. IF I got it wrong, sorry, Im just trying to spread the word.

4. Plea to moderators: lock this thread and point to the other one
the letter from Conyers' staff went out this morning. We're emailing the wrong people.
