In a push to get answers to the Downing Street Memo, Rep. Conyers wrote a letter to the President demanding he answer for it. As of yesterday, June 3, Rep. Conyers has received over 110,000 signatures on this letter, which can be view and electronically signed here.
When asked by members of Congress about the Downing Street Memo, the President has repeatedly refused to comment. Rep Conyers is one of the initial members of Congress to ask the President about the memo. He has taken the Presidents refusal to a whole other level. He is showing him that the people who make the decisions in this country, the ones who enter that sacred polling place, demand the leader they elect answer to allegations of his unethical conduct.
We need more representatives in office that stand behind the people the way John Conyers does. In a time when the mainstream media seems to be hiding a story that could lead to a scandal that rivals Watergate, John Conyers is focusing his efforts on keeping the story alive.
Hats off to you John Conyers, you are truly a man of the people.
