&lt;p&gt;Congresswoman Schakowsky has a new Blog with space to post comments similar to Rep. Conyers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She recently came back from Iraq and called out bush’s propaganda on the surge at ThinkProgress.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;money doesn’t control your brain, so, you still have valuable assets to spend at the lake, audrey……&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks, I really needed to hear that! At least I hope it’s true. ;)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;audrey at 297 says-”Sorry you missed so much, dmac. But thanks so much. I would have jumped to contribute if I had a penny to my name…so maybe that can count in some way.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that’s ok, i’m reading comments now, had errands i had to do……i’m not always able to contribute, in fact, hardly at all, but when i get a little extra, i do…(like when everything i eat is on sale at the grocery, which it has been this month)……and it wasn’t much…….last week, i donated a little in jaqrat’s name, cuz she didn’t have it either…….&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Exactly!!  I took an oath to the President. WOW! Maybe she did.  If so, it was a secret oath.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not so secret. I believe it was reported somewhere early on in his presidency that all his newly appointed as well as members of the legislature were being forced to take an oath to him. Need to google.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay. I googled Bush  “loyalty oath” and WOW!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bush requires loyalty oath even from soldiers&lt;br /&gt;
