Will Pacifica or C-Span cover the OH Conyers Forum?

[Stephanie]

I can't find any reference to it in their schedules. If they are not covering it we must insist they do.

C-Span...might not, you think if we e-mail them we'll get a response?

[goclark]

2. Let's get ready for a TIVO Popcorn Party!!

Hey hey hey!

Get your popcorn ready folks.
Maxine is ready to rock and roll.
I was wondering where she was at the 1st hearing.
Well Ready, set, GO!!!

Add, Arnebeck and Fitrakis and JJ and Stephanie T. Jones
and

It's Truth Telling Time!

As Ray Charles said, " Tellll the Truth, da da da da da da!"

This one should be on Pay Per View!

I have been watching JJ and Maxine Waters for years.
When the two of them get in the same room they energize each other and it is a joy to behold when they get going.

Please confirm the time to set the TIVO and I'll invite friends over for the Main Event!

[Stephanie]

3. Pardon me but WHAT do you think you're going to TIVO?

Nobody's covering it, so far as I can tell. We have to force them to cover it.

[Scout1071]

4. What's the CSPAN email address?

I emailed last week and ready to go again. Can't believe they didn't learn their lesson last week.

26. don't forget [e-mail]

I was told to write: [e-mail]

Best bet is to email all of them and make a call if you're able.

[goclark]

10. That is my point

If you notice I asked for the time and station.

I get the point.

I have already sent my email to CSPAN and the other stations.

They were not going to cover the first Hearing either but they did.
Why,because we forced them to do so.

The HEARING in OHIO will be on my TIVO, thank you very much.

I refuse to go negative.
Now I must get back to sending emails to the other MSM networks as well as my phone calls.

[IAMREALITY]

12. Woooohoooooo Way To Be Optimistic (post #3)

:eyes:

GoClark, Most of us share your enthusiasm. Get the Popcorn ready!!!

:toast:

[goclark]

14. Thanks IAMREALITY

Glad to know that entusiasm in not in short supply.

For a moment I thought I was in Never,Never Land.

[IAMREALITY]

15. goclark Always Remember We Have Thick Skins For A Reason

It is there to deflect stupidity, defeatism, and negativity.

And you do that just fine :)

NEVER let those who exist to suck the life out of progress get you down.

It's Alllllll good buddy!

[henslee]

17. Obviously you haven't head about new and improved Tivo...

[Chili]

5. C-SPAN's email address...

...specifically for suggestions of what viewers would like to see televised:

[e-mail]

[me b zola]

18. Thank you, Chili

Your wonderful pictoral message is a gift...
:yourock:

[evolvenow]

7. Let's get CSPAN!!

I just sent a letter requesting coverage for this pivotal event.
Is this the correct email?
[e-mail]

Let's go!!

[KatieB]

8. Done - wrote them

[texpatriot2004]

16. Here's the message I sent to [e-mail]

I love C-SPAN. Thanks so much for covering the Hearing on December the 8th that looked into the election irregularities occurring in our November 2nd election. I can always count on your coverage of important political events, therefore, I am writing to request that you continue covering this important issue by providing coverage of the forum scheduled for Monday, December 13th. The forum will focus on the irregularities in Ohio during our U.S. election. I am certain that you know how critical that state was in the election and how important it is that we understand what happened there. I hope that I will be able to count on C-SPAN once again, and to tell my friends and family who are also interested in the event to do the same. Thank you for your consideration of this suggestion.

[catcatcat]

19. done (n/t)

[Stephanie]

9. Does anyone know anything about Pacifica?

I can't find anything about it on their site:

http://www.pacifica.org/

[senseandsensibility]

11. Thanks for the link, Stephanie

I e-mailed Pacifica. Please do the same, everyone.:) They covered the last forum, and it was my only access to it. Air America had nothing about it during the day, at least during the times I listened. Most people can't watch TV during the day, so radio coverage is very important.

[Stephanie]

20. Last time the hearing wasn't on my local Pacifica (WBAI).

I was really surprised I couldn't get it there. I think it was aired on KPFA - what town is that in?

[IAMREALITY]

21. As Per A Two Second Google Search

It is broadcast from Berkeley California.

:hi:

[senseandsensibility]

22. San Francisco/ Berkeley

Hey, it's liberal paradise here. What can I say? But I didn't realize that it wasn't broadcast everywhere.

[seito]

13. E-mail sent to CSPAN and Pacifica n/t

[candice]

23. I sent email to both places, too

I wonder if they are going to get lots of email. Seems odd that they haven't scheduled coverage of Monday's historic activities.

[Alizaryn]

24. Done

[shiina]

25. Pacifica - Listen to Sunday Salon tomorrow

They've been covering the election stuff in Ohio and elsewhere pretty heavily for the last few weeks. There should be some mention of the forum on Monday.

[Stephanie]

27. NPR covered the revote in NC but did not mention the panel

Unless I missed it, I heard nothing about Conyers' forum. They discussed the race that is being rerun in NC due to a touchscreen that lost memory and ate 4000 votes. They interviewed someone from Verified Voting and then Doug Lewis.

[GregD]

28. Bensky said this morning

that they will record the event and get it on a show soon, but will not be able to cover it live.

[Stephanie]

29. HELLO! How are we goiing to follow this story tomorrow?

Will anyone cover it? Is this the only Earth I can live on?
