Twenty-four members from the House signed a letter issued to the full House and Senate this afternoon in a last-minute bid to encourage the Senate to open discussion on the electoral vote tally Thursday, RAW STORY has learned.

The members signing were: John Conyers, Jr, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Jesse Jackson, Jr., Jim McDermott, Maxine Waters, Lynn Woolsey, Bernard Sanders, Eleanor H. Norton, Sam Farr, Chaka Fattah, Donald Payne, Anthony Weiner, Diane Watson, Barbara Lee, Elijah Cummings, Robert Wexler, Juanita Millender-McDonald, José E. Serrano, Major Owens, Danny K. Davis, Dennis J. Kucinich, Sheila Jackson Lee, William Clay, Jr. and Barney Frank.

Rep. Frank's signature was not included in this release because he signed it after it had been scanned.







Rest of signatures:

Looks like we even got some white guys this time. Amazing.

It makes me shake my head that only 24 Congressmen and ? Senators (zero? One? Two?) view this as a problem.

Lots of meetings in back rooms to get this far. Stay tuned for 1/6 at 1 pm.

It will only take one senator, but I think if there is one, there will be more.

If you haven't read the Conyer's report, go here and take a look:

He lays a good case for actual fraud, not just errors.

Wouldn't it be amazing if the African Americans saved our democracy after all the bad things this country has done to them.

I know Michael Moore will be there with his camera.

Barbara Boxer could get a lot of press if she showed some chutzpah. this is her chance. But of course, it would be just like screaming into the wind.

What we need is Ukrainian style camp out in front the House.

Yes, but we wouldn't deserve it! I think that's one reason I'm so sure Barack Obama is headed for greatness. He is an African American who has made it through the system with incredible graciousness. Our country needs leaders of diversity for healing.

I got a newsletter from Michael Moore today. I'm sure he plans to be there. The weather is not co-operating at all. I wish there could be lots of people demonstrating at that place tomorrow. Did anyone else think of that?

It isn't the first time; General Patton's tank division had many African Americans, and throughout this country's history there are many instances of the Buffalo soldiers making the difference, and don't forget the Amistad. (I've always felt that they test the kids on facts that the kids can't possibly remember, but do not include so many facts that they really ought to know.)
