Congressman Conyers seeks 100,000 to sign letter on Downing Street memo 
inquiry - Raw Story, 5/27/05

Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) seeks to amass 100,000 signatures from U.S. 
citizens calling on President Bush for more answers about a 2002 meeting 
during which a senior British official said intelligence was "being fixed" 
to present a case for the Iraq war, RAW STORY has learned.

The congressman's office says Conyers hopes to present the letter to the 
President in person, in what may be a media event; they believe the letter 
could have a "viral effect" and spark new interest in the steps taken by 
the Bush Administration in the run-up to the Iraq war and the so-called 
"Downing Street Memo."
...
(Conyers: ) "The conventional wisdom, which unfortunately governs 
Washington's political discourse, hold that the American people have long 
ago made peace with the mistakes or deceptions which led us into war. Help 
me prove them all wrong. I want to show the White House, the Press and my 
congressional colleagues that nothing could be further from the truth.
That is why today I am giving you the opportunity to sign on to a letter 
asking the same questions of the President that now nearly 100 Members of 
Congress have asked. If I get at least 100,000 signatures on this, I will 
personally deliver the letter to the White House."
