Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) won’t appear on the Democratic primary ballot after failing to submit enough valid signatures, Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett said on Tuesday.

‘It is my determination that in accordance with the current laws and statutes of the State of Michigan, the nominating petitions filed by Congressman John Conyers, Jr. are insufficient to allow his name to appear on the August 5, 2014 Primary Ballot,; Garrett said in a statement.

The decision means Conyers may have to run as a write-in candidate if he wants to keep a seat he’s held for five decades.

If Conyers wins reelection, the 84 year old civil rights leader and House Judiciary Committee ranking member would become the Dean of the House, having served longer than any other current member. His former boss, Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.), is retiring this year…..

Although Conyers submitted a petition with 2000 signatures, 1000 of those signatures were required to be “valid”. Conyers came up short with ONLY 592 valid signatures.

There is a message in there somewhere of which we can expect the Progressive elites to pay no attention.

Pelosi Wants to Amended Americas Sacred Documen…, posted with vodpod

How is it that Progressives only invoke God, the U.S. Constitution, the Founders and our Founding Documents when it is beneficial to their personal agenda, i.e., social justice, shared sacrifice, advancing their position of authority and self-enrichment?

Enter Nancy Pelosi, among other greedy professional politicians.

Freedom, liberty and jobs have absolutely nothing to do with what Nancy Pelosi is advocating.

In 2010, when Democrats had both the House and the Senate, Pelosi’s wealth increased by 62%. 

Such self-enrichment is the direct result of Pelosi and fellow Progressives from Obama down shoving Obamacare and abundance other onerous legislation down the throats of Americans.

Again, enter Pelosi, among others greedy professional politicians.  H/t GULAG BOUND.

“There’s no reason why the wealthiest country in civilization can’t put everybody to work at good wages.”   2:27 John Conyers.

What Progressives are advocating has everything to do with expanding the federal government, government spending, increasing the power of unions, the nationalization of corporate entities, and the destruction of small businesses while filching the pockets of Americans.

Their goal is to transform the United States into a Communist society.  According to Progressives, we must build a bridge to get us there.

I DO NOT THINK SO.

CNS NEWS

“(CNSNews.com) – House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), echoing others who testified before a subcommittee on Thursday, said both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations represent an ‘imperial presidency.’ Obama, Conyers said, has broken his promises to shut down Guantanamo, end military operations abroad, and has continued to expand the power of the executive branch.

‘The power of what has begun to be termed the imperial presidency grows, and the ability of our Democratic institutions, especially the federal legislative branch – us – to constrain it seems more uncertain,’ Conyers said in his opening remarks at a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties.

Conyers said the Obama administration continues to use executive privilege as strategy for national security at the cost of Americans’ civil liberties.

‘The repeated invocation of the state secrets privilege, which has gone on in recent years, including this administration, to an incredible new height,’ Conyers said.

Conyers said the Obama administration has ‘shut down complaints, investigations and lawsuits challenging executive branch action, such as illegal domestic surveillance, torture and rendition….”

I did not expect for a moment that the ever so corrupt John Conyers, Progressive had it in him to challenge the One but he still gets no credit from me.

While Obama has been trampling over our liberties since January 20, 2009, Conyers has remained silent and thereby a party to the trampling.  I am, therefore, suspect of the timing and agenda by both Conyers and the ACLU, both of whom have assisted in the destruction of the Republic.

That being said, these hearings mean nothing if nothing comes of it.

Enough procrastinating, stop and reverse the power of the executive branch.

Joyride: Rep. Conyers’ Son Takes Gov’t Vehicl…, posted with vodpod

Rep. Conyers’ Son Takes Gov’t Vehicle Out For Night on Town; Cadillac SUV is Broken Into, Laptops Stolen

This could not be the same John Conyers who is also one of the longest serving members of the House who once condescendingly said, “What good is reading the (health care) bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill, could it?”  H/t Breitbart tv.

Furthermore, why was his son, John Conyers III driving a government vehicle, and will the little joy rider serve time for felonious behavior?

Inquiring minds is also asking what was on the stolen laptops.  Answer: I bet Julian Assange can tell us.

No shortage of questions, to which Conyers must provide answers.  What is up with the $27,000 worth of concert tickets?  Moreover, why were these tickets in the car?

Knowing the history of corruption surrounding this family, dare I ask?  Was this a set up for a some kind of swindle?

One can only surmise that if Conyers refuses to read any legislation set before him in the House, that he has also failed to read the rulebook on government vehicles.  Still no excuse for this man’s behavior or the behavior of family members.

What is this?  A family affair?

John Conyers’ wife, Monica is serving a 37-month sentence for corruption in a women’s prison camp in Alderson, W. Virginia for a bribery scheme she participated in during her tenure on the Detroit City Council.

“0.209 – Use of Government vehicles.

Employees shall not use Government vehicles for unofficial purposes, including to transport unauthorized passengers. The use of Government vehicles for transporting employees between their domiciles and places of employment must be authorized by statute (See, e.g., 31 U.S.C. 1344).”

Another corrupt politician gets her just desserts.  H/t Gateway Pundit.

Last summer, Conyers pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery in a scandal over a city sludge-hauling contract to Synagro Technologies Inc. for a pair of $3,000 bribes.

In addition to the aforementioned charges, Monica Conyers had the reputation of a ghetto rat.
