Subject: MASS-CARE Update: Healthcare Amendment Campaign Sues; MASS-CARE
Statewide Meeting Next Saturday

The healthcare drama only intensifies in Massachusetts. On Friday, the
Health Care for Massachusetts Campaign and ten citizens sued to have the
healthcare constitutional amendment placed on the November 2008 ballot
if the legislative session ends at midnight on January 2nd without
taking a vote on the substance of the petition to amend the
Massachusetts Constitution to make access to affordable, comprehensive
health insurance a right of all who reside here. Full coverage of this
and other aspects of the fight for a just healthcare system, with links,
is available on Seachange Bulletin <http://www.seachangebulletin.org>.
And a reminder: the Statewide Meeting of MASS-CARE will take place next
Saturday, November 18th, at Clark University in Worcester @ 10:00 AM.
All single-payer supporters are welcome and urged to attend. We are
preparing our legislative input to the next legislative session and need
your input.

Sandy

Chair, MASS-CARE

[Green-Minorities] A Letter to John Conyers

yahoogroups.com

returns.groups.yahoo.com

*Hello all,*
*Carol Wolman is a psychiatrist. She is also a bible stufdying
christian. I
don't  have religious affinity but share her views that social political
activism is essential to freedom from war and lasting peace. Just see
how
the forty winks beteen 68 and 72 brought us to brink of fasism.*
*Kamran*
*======*
**
*Dear Mr. Conyers,*
**
*Congratulations on your re-election to Congress.  This makes your 21st
term.  I believe you are now the senior Democrat in the House of
Representatives.*
**
*You have long been a hero of mine, because you've been willing to take
brave stands in difficult times.  I've especially appreciated your
investigation of the fraudulent Ohio vote in the '04 presidential
election.
*
**
*What stands out for me is your effort to get an impeachment movement
going
in the spring of '05. That's when the Downing Street memos came out,
revealing that intelligence had been deliberately twisted to justify an
illegal invasion of Iraq, a sovereign nation that was not threatening
the US
in any way.  Lying us into war is an impeachable offense.  *
**
*As the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, you wrote a
treatise, you held hearings, you got over 30 cosponsors for HR 635,
which
would mandate an investigation into impeachable offenses by Bush and
Cheney,
you tried to get a people's movement going. *
**
*You were our shining star in Congress, the one we counted on.  Now you
will
become Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, and have the power to
begin
impeachment hearings.  You have experience, since you participated in
the
Nixon hearings way back in '74, when you were already a member of that
Committee.  You have wisdom, courage, position.*
**
*Yet, according to an article in your local paper, **
http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006611100333*<http://www
.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006611100333>
*, you have decided to say, with Nancy Pelosi, "impeachment is not on
the
table".   With everything at your disposal now, you could hold swift and
certain impeachment hearings, and boot the criminals right out of
office.
What's stopping you?*
**
*Bush is more dangerous than ever.  He holds absolute power over all of
us,
as you well know.  John Conyers, you were there in Congress last month
when
the shameful law was passed that allows him to declare any one of us an
"illegal enemy combatant" and put us away in Halliburton's "detention
centers" with no legal recourse, not even habeas corpus.  You were there
when the other law was passed that voids posse comitatus and puts the
National Guard under Bush's direct command, bypassing the governers, so
that
they can be used to control the people.*
**
*The people want Bush out.  That's why we voted so overwhelmingly for
the
Democrats.  The only way we knew to express our desire to get rid of
Bush
and Cheney was to vote for the Democrats.  Over half the people in this
country want impeachment.  They are hoping that a Democratic Congress
will
carry out the popular will.*
**
*There is a huge groundswell of support for impeachment, which is
quickly
getting defused by the disgusting Bush-Pelosi love fest now taking
place.  *
**
*The public is being told "We don't have time for impeachment, there's
more
important business to be done."  What could be more important than
getting
rid of this would-be dictator who has already done our country so much
harm?  *
**
*The public is being told, "We don't want to divide the country".  The
people would quickly unite behind an impeachment movement once Bush and
Cheney's crimes were brought to light by the House Judiciary Committee.
*
**
*You know all this, John Conyers.  I've been hoping you would accept a
draft
to become Speaker of the House, challenging Pelosi's determination to
play
ball with Bush.  Now I hear that you stand with Pelosi: **"impeachment
is
not on the table".*
**
*John Conyers, I feel betrayed.  I understand that your good friend,
Martin
Luther King, Jr. was assassinated and that you have to be careful.  I
understand that you have be a politician.  But you could have said-
"we'll
see how things develop"- anything to let us know that you are still with
us,
and are willing to conduct impeachment hearings when the time is right.
But
no, you say with Pelosi "impeachment is not on the table."*
**
*How did they get you, John Conyers?  Did they threaten you?  or your
grandchildren?  I can't believe you would accept a bribe after all these
years.  What happened to you?*
**
*My heart is broken, John Conyers.  I trusted you.  I thought you abided
by
the same Christian principles that Dr. King stood for- justice, truth,
service to the people.  But no, you're going along with the rest of
them.  *
**
*Luke 16: 13No servant can serve two masters.
He will either hate one and love the other,
or be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and mammon."
http://www.usccb.org/nab/111106.shtml*
**
*Come back to us, John Conyers.  Help us get rid of the criminals who
have
hijacked our government.  Impeachment is legal, peaceful, and expressive
of
the will of "we the people".  You have the power to make it happen.*
**
*Help us take our country back.*
