On a personal note, I hate the fact that he and I belong to the same fraternity. He'll never be considered in any bond with me.
LOL.
Please do not confuse them.
I agree.
Hey by any chance do you know if there are copies of those letters the Dem's were passing out during their so called Downing St Memo meeting? Specifically the one claiming the Jews knew about 911 before it happen??
His district has a higher proportion of Muslims than any other in Congress, and his official congressional web site can be read in Arabic
That was only recently with the 2002 redistricting. Until then, East Dearborn was represented by John Dingell (For 40+ years). Dingell now only has West Dearborn where he lives. I'm not sure if Hamtramck was Conyers or Kilpatrick country. I know that Conyers has had West Detroit since Detroit went from three reps to two.
This district, slightly redrawn since the 2000 Census, has had an electorate 61 percent African-American and in 2000 cast 81 percent of its votes for Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore. In 2004 Conyers won re-election with 84 percent of the vote, approximately 11 percent more than Democratic standard bearer Senator John F. Kerry drew here in Wayne County.
That was because of Detroit. Detroit went 93% for Kerry and Gore. Dearborn went 58% for Kerry(and Bush won it in 2000). One other thing that needs to be mentioned is that Detroit and Dearborn do not get along. The blacks and whites there for years were not fond of one another, and the blacks and Arabs there do not get along that well either. There's a lot of regional Detroit dynamics in effect. All Conyers cares about is what the City of Detroit thinks - which is what most of his district covers. The burbs in his district, including East Dearborn, have no representation.
Whether Conyers voted against this resolution because he represents more Arab-Americans than any other Member of Congress,
In March 2002? That most likely isn't possible. The redistrict battles were still going on at that time and the representatives might not have known what their district would look like. Conyers did not represent East Dearborn until late 2002.
He's just a Jim McDermott communist democrat.
great info..pinged for my library.
The worst is pinko.
A PRIME example of the ROT from within!! Totally UN American, Totally Socialist!!
Conyers is a hard-core communist. Unfortunately, this sort of treason is rewarded in this country today.
