10 Progressive Caucus will become Committee Chairs if Dems take the House

[Douglas Carpenter]

If the Democrats take the House this November

10 members of the Progressive Caucus would become chairmen of committees

John Conyers becomes Chairman of the Judiciary Committee

If you are less than enthusiastic about the particular Democratic candidate or incumbent for your district or if you're disappointed and discouraged with the current Democratic Party leadership -- consider this:

"If Democrats retake the House, 10 members of the Progressive Caucus would become chairmen of committees," said Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of the Nation.

Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., would take over the Judiciary Committee -- the panel that produced the Patriot Act -- and Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez, would run the Education and Workforce Committee."

4. You wouldn't think you'd have to point this out

5. K&R!!! This is the most important point for this year's election!

I'm starting to worry about the in-fighting going on here at DU. All of the calls for third parties and the calls to not donate to the DNC. I am all for third parties, but now is not the time to break up the unity we have forged here over the last few years. We can fight it out in the primaries, but I sincerely hope that once they are over we are all on board with our party. We need to win this year because it might be our last chance I'm afraid. :scared:

...in November! The party's over for these criminals.

[minvis]

13. Even more important

David Obey would be chairman of the Appropriations Committee and Charles Rangel would be chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. These are arguably the two most important committees in the House.
