Are any Top DEMs publically echoing Conyer's questions about Gannon?
I'd love an update if anyone knows.

Has Dean, Kerry, Hillary, Obama or any other high-profile, quotable DEMs backed up Conyers and stated that they want Conyers questions answered too?

Call your Reps. and demand that they stand behind Conyers and publically re-ask his questions.

Mabey since top DEMS wont do it, Judy Woodruff will feel compelled stand beside Conyers on this- or Tony Snow.

I give this story 3 days tops.

3. From Conyer's letter:
Great letter- but I'd rather hear some top DEMs saying it on TV...

1. The Department of Homeland Security's records indicate that Mr. "Gannon" entered the White House Complex 196 times in the past two years. He attended 155 of the 196 press conferences held at the White House in the two year period. This is disconcerting considering that your office and "Mr. Gannon" have maintained that his access was sporadic. At what point is a "hard pass" required?

2. The records show that Mr. "Gannon" was allowed access to the White House 38 times when no public press events occurred. He also spent hours in the White House both before and after press events took place. With whom did he meet on those occasions and what was the subject matter of those meetings?

3. On 13 occasions there is a record where he checked in with security, but is never registered as leaving the White House complex. How do you explain this?

4. Your Media Assistant, Lois Cassano, requested a total of 48 day passes for Mr. "Gannon" which helped facilitate his access for nearly 200 times over the last two years. It is nearly impossible that she would have made Gannon such a priority without direction from a supervisor. Would you like to revise your claim that, "I don't involve myself in that process, it's handled at a staff level."<1>

4. I am feeling that the top level Dems will
let this go down the memory hole because they feel that it is sleaze and don't wish to be connected to it in any way. I also feel that most Dems are complicit with the Bush Junta on most issues. It's the Corporate mind set.

5. So DEMS lose elections and their jobs on purpose then?
I find that hard to believe.

The truth is that if they let this go, they are just plain old idiots.
