Saudis did 911, now Cong Walter Jones is taking the point on this.  At least someone in the US Congress has balls.


On September 11, Congressman Walter B. Jones (R-NC) issued a statement regarding the classified 28 pages of the Joint Congressional Inquiry into the attacks of America on September 11, 2001. The full statement reads as follows:

Representative Walter Jones (R-NC)
"As we commemorate the 12th anniversary of 9/11 it saddens me that vital evidence of this heinous attack is still being withheld from the American people. As a member of Congress, I had the opportunity to read the 28 pages of the Joint Congressional Inquiry into the attacks that have not yet been made public, and I believe that keeping this information classified is more about protecting powerful interests than our national security.
"Former Senator Bob Graham deserves a great deal of credit for working towards the declassification of the 28 pages. I join him in calling on the leaders of the administration, House, and Senate to make this information public. This disclosure will allow the American people to access information that they deserve to know the full story of the tragedy on September 11, 2001."

Cancel the US Congress's Recess

Hey Harlem dudes, big fight in Congress, is it Glass Steagall Act time?  I hope so.

LaRouche PAC organizers continued to intervene in Washington, D.C., today, demanding that the planned congressional recess be cancelled so as to address the looming financial collapse and the threat of thermonuclear war by reinstating Glass- Steagall and removing Barack Obama from office.
Thus far a number of Congressmen have called for the Congress to stay in session on the basis of lesser issues. On Monday, Rep. Gerald Connally (D-VA), Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), and Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA) attended a rally in Arlington, VA, demanding that Congress stay in session to head off the budget sequestration by passing a budget.
At a press conference early Wednesday, Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) explained how Congress is leaving the American people at a time when they need it most, before passing the Jobs Bill and Farm Bill. Larson said, "As one of my constituents put it, why are you leaving us in this dark abyss of uncertainty?"
In a July 31 letter to House Speaker John Boehner, Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa) said the House should stay in session to take action before the U.S. Postal Service defaults on a payment to its Retiree Health Benefit Fund which will default on its obligation to pay $5.5 billion on Aug. 1 and on another $5.6 billion in September. Loebsack wrote: "This and many other critical issues are facing families, businesses, and farmers, and as the Speaker of the House, I call on you to keep the House in session and get the work of the American people done."
On Wednesday, Boehner and other top House Republicans said they will immediately call the House back into session if the Senate takes action regarding the threat posed by the defense sequester and potential expiration of all the George W. Bush-era tax cuts.

Charlie Rangel, New York, will not resign

Charlie Rangel, longtime New York and Harlem dude Congressman will not resign, but will fight it out. One of the OCE charges against Rangel was to fundraise for an educational center to be funded by rich donors at the City College of New York, a key educational center in Harlem. This was named after Rangel, but was not for his benefit, it was for our benefit, the benefit of the people. No, I am not ashamed of defending Charlie Rangel, and we in NYC are not in any way his victims, we are the people whom has has served.

give Charlie Rangel, respect,
Just a little bit,
Oh baby;
(spoof, Respect, Aretha Franklin)

Let's keep 40-years of fun going in the US Congress.
