Politicians won't do it without a shove

John Conyers is back in the local news. Cindy Sheehan, rabble rouser for the end of the war was given an award from the Cranbrook Peace Foundation. Introducing her was -- John Conyers. Strange since Sheehan held a demonstration in July at Conyers' office for refusing to hold impeachment hearings. Her message: politicians won't do it on their own, so we need to force them to do what is right. Enough of the Democrat's ineffective attempts to end the war (and they know they're ineffective) through troop withdrawal provisions in spending bills. There are better ways: refuse the bills outright or, better yet, impeach. Conyers is still mum. Time to tell him to get off his ass. I've sent my letter (and will gladly provide a copy to anyone who wants to provide their own). Conyers Detroit phone is: 313-961-5670.
