November 26, 2009 : Democrat Senator from North Dakota, Kent Conrad, while defending the Obama Administration's decision to try al Qaeda terrorists in civilian courts, said:Senator Conrad's insulting defense of trying KSM in New York
"If people don't believe in our system, maybe they ought to go somewhere else."
Really Senator Conrad? Would you like to retract that statement?
I am a Gold-Star Father, meaning my son Sergeant Eddie Jeffers was killed in Iraq. I am opposed to terrorists being tried in civilian courts. Did I mention that I am a 22 year Army veteran? Is it okay with you if invoke my free speech rights?
How about Debra Burlingame? Her brother, Charles "Chic" Burlingame III, was piloting the plane that terrorists slammed into the Pentagon. Ms. Burlingame is opposed to terrorists being tried in civilian courts. Does she need to go somewhere else?
Time and space does not allow listing the names of family members who lost loved ones on 9/11 and those who subsequently joined the military to find this terrorist scourge, some giving "the last full measure." Do all of these patriotic Americans need to go somewhere else?
Perhaps it is Senator Conrad who needs to go somewhere else? I'm not asking North Dakotans to send Senator Conrad out of the country, just back to Bismarck.
As for me, I'm staying.
David and Eddie Jeffers:
Someone needs to send this letter to John Hoeven, as a candidate recruitment tool.
Dear Idiot Senator Conrad....our “system” is for OUR CITIZENS....NOT our ENEMIES!
Conrad outta go somewhere else... like down to defeat on election day. C’mon North Dakotans in that conservative state. Send that ‘Rat packing next election!
Unfortunately, Conrad isn’t up until 2012. Ed Schafer ought to take out this maggot.
Put the RAT on notice that he’s through and to start packing early.
Dorgan is up next year, isnt he?
This entire terrorist Liberal circus of a trial in NYC is going to backfire on Zero and his henchmen including the moron Holder.
9/11 Reminder will be the RATs sinking ship
Please watch this awesome Fox News video of Todd Beamer’s father speaking. Mr. Beamer is exposing the truth to the American people!!! Please copy and paste this link into emails and send them to your address lists and ask them to send the link on to their address lists. Let the truth be heard about the treason taking place against We The People.

Oops, I got the North Dakota twins mixed up.
Yes. We need Hoeven to run. He’s the only one who can definitively take Dorgan out without much trouble.
Take out Dorgan and Pomeroy next year and Conrad will be an easier target in ‘12. He wouldn’t have his job without Dorgan. It’s time for a revolution in North Dakota.
Does N. Dakota have recall provisions for Senators?
This is truly low. The good people of ND need to wake up and realize what kind of man they have representing them, and take action at the next election.
Conrad is a maggot. He has to go.
My best friends are all from Bismarck and they love this guy. I think there is a big union influence in Bismarck.
There is no provision in the U.S. Constitution that allows for a recall of federally elected officials. They could only be expelled by the body in which they serve. Other than that, you have to wait until the next election.
It would violate the U.S Constitution for states to have recall provisions for U.S. Senators or Representatives (recall provisions for state officers are fine unless the state constitution prohibits them). We have to wait until 2012 to send Conrad packing, but we can get rid of his bestest buddies Senator Dorgan and Congressman Pomeroy in 2010.
Well said, Mr. Jeffers!
