Have you sent your e-mail to Rep. Conyers yet?

John Conyers (D-Mich) wants one million e-mails supporting his efforts to investigate voting irregularities in Ohio. There's a web page on the House Judiciary Committee site which allows you to type in a message to Rep. Conyers. If you haven't done so, do so, and tell your friends.

Hard not to quote in its entirety

So I basically will:

Mark Kleiman has this summary of the factions and tension within the Republican Party that I wish I had had the wit to write:

It used to be that the fight within the Republican Party was mostly between the moderates, who would have been content with repealing the Great Society, and the radicals who wanted to repeal the New Deal as well.

That's over: with the Social Insecurity plan . . . the entire GOP is firmly committed to repealing what remains of the New Deal. . . .

Now the faction fight will between the economic conservatives and libertarians, who are prepared to stop with the New Deal, and the two overlapping groups of "social conservatives": the white supremacists, who really want to repeal Reconstruction but would settle for undoing the Second Reconstruction, and the fundamentalists who want to repeal the Enlightenment.

For now, the extremist Catholics of the Buckley-Bennett-Scalia faction, who would be tempted to repeal the Reformation as well, are prepared to suspend that desire and work with the extremist Protestants to take out the seculars.
