Busy with much this morning, so just a few quick notes for the moment.<\/p>\n
– I’ll be on Radio Left<\/a> at 4:20pm ET (1:20pm PT) to discuss VR’s “Divestiture for Democracy”<\/a>. You can listen live online, and we’ll otherwise try to get a link to the recorded appearance later. For media who’d like more info on the campaign, and to discuss appearances, etc., please write to DV4D@VelvetRevolution.us<\/a>.<\/p>\n – For media folks who’d like to participate in next Tuesday’s BlogCall<\/a> conference call that I’ll be doing, along with Clint Curtis, to discuss developments in his story<\/a>, please email me<\/a> and I’ll try to get an invitation out to you for the call.<\/p>\n – The great John Conyers (aside from smartly endorsing VR’s campaign yesterday!<\/a>) today has forced<\/i> the issue of Election Reform onto the floor of Congress during debate of the House’s bill to determine what happens to ensure continuity of government during a terror attack. <\/p>\n He used a surprise maneuver to do so known as a “Motion to Recommit”. As Will Pitt explains in his TruthOut article an hour or so ago…”Rep. Conyers finds it ridiculous that the House is spending so much energy (and acting with such speed) to solve a hypothetical problem, about a hypothetical election, when there are so many real problems with our real elections.” Pitt has the details, and Conyers official statement on the floor<\/a>. Good on Conyers again!<\/p>\n
