I haven’t seen this posted here. This is my first diary entry so please be kind. C-Span will be broadcasting Conyer’s forum tomorrow live at 2pm on C-Span3. I know, I know, most of us don’t have that but can live stream online.
I was hoping catnip might jump on a live thread for us cubicle dwellars tomorrow. We could try to get C-Span to repeat it later in the evening by emailing them at viewer@cspan.org.
I sure am looking forward to what will be said and the rally to follow.
thanks for the heads up AlohaLeezy! Maybe we can have a thread to discuss it during/after.
I love Congressmam Conyer. We need to get him to start posting his alerts over here, too.
That is a great idea. I hope Catnip is feeling better because she always did a great job over at Dkos on the hearing threads.John Conyers is the last of a dying breed…a true Patriot and deals only in integrity as far as I am concerned.
Yay! Perfect first diary, and kudos to you. And thanks for bringing this to attention… I hope someone does live blog, as I don’t have cable.
Conyers is great, too.
on your first diary. Thx for notifying the community, I probably would’ve forgotten since Thursdays are busy here at work.
To stream CSPAN, go to their website at CSPAN.org. There is a section for Live Streams, I think it will be broadcast on CSPAN-3 since #1 and 2 are reserved for the House and Senate floor debates. You can either use Windows Media Player or RealPlayer for the video links.
Thanks you guys for the kudos. Now you’re all in trouble. I did go back and correct some spelling errors. You folks are all pretty used to that from me by now though…lol!
but would a few of you recommend so all will be aware of this being a live broadcast tomorrow? Thanks.
Yes good idea and congrats again. There is another diary up also that is dealing with this but I am sure we will need both thread tomorrow. One won’t be enough.
There has been some MSM coverage on this, see this diary:
http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2005/6/15/123941/767
That diary has a lot of links and will be helpful to this discussion.
Good coverage on CNN with interview with conyers, 500,000 have signed petitions.
Cspan will almost surely rerun it, they always do with Conyers hearings….
Crap…I didn’t see that diary and I checked the diary list twice. Should I delete this one then or keep it up for an open live thread for tomorrow?
tell everyone who gets to this point in the thread to go to the other one, as it does have lots of good links — and to recommend the other one, unrecommend this one, etc. Then take this one down when the other one gets high enough up on the list. . . .
But you did good, since I saw this one first, and it prompted the post with the link to the other one.:-)
seeing the other one doesn’t have anything in title to indicate it has anything to do with Conyers?
This diary could turn into the forum for organizing the live blogging for tomorrow, if Catnip isn’t up for it. I know that she rocks, and none of us could top the job that she does, but I’d hate to beg and plead with her if she’s not feeling up to it. Will you be trapped in a cubicle tomorrow? Anyone else here free to put up the diary and get it rolling?
Zander…I am in an office all day so won’t have access to thread the hearing. Sure hope someone will pick up the ball tomorrow.
Excellent first diary aloha and really important information. Thanks for letting us know about the forum’s live feed.
I felt it was very important to let everyone know. It would be great if we could hound MSNBC and CNN into covering the forum too but that would be rather doubtful. I did email the Today show this morning about the DSM and wanted to know why they were still covering Jackson and not something as important as The GD President lying to the World!!
Well hell aloha, if they started reporting on important shit, you know like women’s reproductive rights, human rights violations perpetrated by the US government, the President lying to the world about WMD’s and the need to kill Iraqi’s, then the public would know WTF is going on and would be pissed as hell. As it stands now, the MSM, just wants those who watch that shit to just sit back, relax and buy some more of out garbage that keeps us on the air.
F’ing truth. Every time a new “truthful” story comes out I think, this is it. This is the one that will have them all burning in hell. Then a week later it is as if nothing was ever said. We have them on the DSM and we have to keep the pressure on them EVERY GD DAY until it is front page in every newspaper and lead story on all nightly news and cable.
