Rep. Conyers: Obama Demanded Social Security Cuts--Not GOP[/font]

"We've got to educate the American people at the same time we educate the President of the United States. The Republicans, Speaker Boehner or Majority Leader Cantor DID NOT call for Social Security cuts in the budget deal.

Conyers added ""My response to him (President Obama) is TO MASS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE TO PROTEST THIS."

This declaration is significant both politically and morally as Conyers is not only the second most senior representative in the House, but was also the first member of Congress to endorse candidate Obama. Conyers doesn't merely draw a moral "line in the sand' but he presents a candid picture of violent contrasts between himself and the first African-American president.

I trust John Conyers to get it right, and to tell me The Truth.
He has had a long career of doing just that,
Getting it Right for the American People,
even when it has been politically inconvenient for him to do so!

This man has sterling creds.
He was #13 on Nixon's Enemy List!
