Do me a favor

[WilliamPitt]

Pay really close attention during the hearing. Take notes. Write something. Send it to your local TV station, and to the big ones. Send it to a Republican Congressman, and to the Democrats who didn't sign the Conyers letter. Fax it if you can.

The hearing will be broadcast on Pacifica Radio, RadioLeft, and for the six of you who have C-SPAN3, it'll be there, too. Links to these are here:

I will be really interested to see what, if any, mainstream media show up. Regardless, tomorrow is important. It will deserve a Friday morning push.

Thanks.

.... Important and Historical Day Tomorrow

For those commenters who were concerned (or hoping) that there would be a media blackout of the forum, that will not be the case. I have every major network, other than Fox, bringing cameras to the hearing. Nightline is taping the event, which I think represents a welcome development from a well respected investigative program. In addition, C-Span 3 and Radio Pacifica are carrying it live.

Member interest in the hearing has been stellar and participation is expected to be very high. My friends Jerry Nadler, Maxine Waters, Chris Van Hollen, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Sheila Jackson Lee, Barbara Lee, Jim McDermott, Lynn Woolsey, Major Owens, barney Frank, Cynthia McKinney, Corrine Brown, Jay Inslee, and Charlie Rangel are all likely to attend. A number of other Members are attempting to adjust their schedules to attend as well.

Following the hearing, I will personally deliver a letter with stacks and stacks of signatures to the White House. This is the culmination of all of your efforts and I hope Thursday makes you very proud. I also hope at the end of the day tomorrow, we will all feel that the truth has begun to be known by more and more Americans and that we are all re-invigorated to do the critical work that comes next.

7. A kick for the morning people...

This is very exciting. I pray for the safety of everyone directly involved (and I'm not often a praying woman) and for the best possible outcome for our country and for our world. This really could be the start of something monumental.

8. And we'll have to keep it up through Monday if anyone is going to

see it.

If we score, some editors will do their Sunday editorials on it. I'm not holding my breathe but we can try.

Not much of anything comes out on Saturdays, so push straight through Monday, folks.

Maybe we can keep this thread kicked and check in with what we tried to get out.

Good idea, Will!

11. Yeah, cspan is really dropping the ball on this one--something this

important shouldn't be on cspan3.

13. This is a really good idea--and people should send an extra note to cspan

requesting they repeat the hearing on cspan1 over the weekend.

15. Taking your suggestion. Thanks. n/t

[WLKjr]

14. Favor to ask of anyone reading this thread

could you please pm me any info that you get from that meeting and any other resources AFTER the meeting on cspan3 so that I can post it on my local Dem website (one I admin) later on tonight or friday?


Thanks

16. since both houses are in session, I would think CSpan will re-play it

on the main channels when time permits

I hope so anyway

[H2O Man]

17. Good idea!

This is an opportunity that we will not have again. Take advantage of it. Strike while the iron is hot.

It is important for DUers to keep everyone up to date on GD. Share your notes and impressions. Team work!

[Pirate Smile]

18. I hope C-span.org can handle the traffic they are going to get.

20. CNN Headline News mentioned Conyer's Hearings this am.! Also the

DSM! It was a good clip...

[linazelle]

21. Good thinking, the media needs to be prompted to show up

and cover this. Unfortunately, I will not be able to cover it due to the fact I'm making a living but if somebody posts info here, I can be an echo by sending info that's been provided.
