John Conyers: Proud Leader of the Fighting Dems

Hopefully that link will work right. It's an op-ed piece written by Michigan Representative John Conyers, and should be read and memorized by all fighting Dems. It's a great piece that gives us the sort of "talking points" that can be used during the next election cycle. An excerpt:

"If the president really cared about the issue of the removal of feeding tubes, he never would have signed a bill as Texas governor in 1999 allowing hospitals to save money by removing feeding tubes over a family's objection. . .
. . .if the Republican Congress really cared about saving lives, they would never sit idly by while more than 40 million Americans went without health insurance. The Schiavo case was not the first time the Republican Congress opted to engage in judicial forum shopping to suit their needs.
Last year, House bills stripped the federal courts of their power to review cases involving same sex marriage and the Pledge of Allegiance because they feared they would read the Constitution too broadly.
Last month, the Republican majority passed legislation that took jurisdiction away from state courts in class-action cases because they feared they would treat corporate wrongdoers too harshly."

This is a definite must-read.
