Congressman Conyers (a real patriot) posts on the Daily Kos blog...fyi...

Can't we do More? (4.00 / 17)

No offense taken.

We do not have subpoena power, that is the big one. We write letters. We can ask for GAO investigations. We can ask for independent counsels. Some times we can pursue FOIA requests. We can introduce bills and amendments. We can try to do our own investigations based on grit and persuasion.

Perhaps our greatest power is public education that leads to public pressure to do the right thing.
