Ask C-SPAN to Cover Downing Street Memo Hearings
================================================
They need to hear from you! Their viewers!

Take Action! Visit this page:

The Downing Street Memo/Minutes hearing is at 1:30pm
EST in the Wasserman Room at 430 S Capitol St. SE, Washington,
D.C. The rally is at 5pm EST in Lafayette Park. C-SPAN should cover
these events. We successfully convinced C-SPAN to
cover the Conyers Hearing regarding the Ohio Fraud. Let's do this
again! Please call them, write them, and ask them to do so:

Main Number: [phone]
Viewer Services: [phone]
(for programming questions)[e-mail]

You got this done for the Conyers Ohio hearings.

We need you to do it again.

3. Apparently C-SPAN is being bombarded with calls, but won't say...

They're not going to announce the schedule until Wednesday night.

But they did say Conyers would be on their morning talk show on Thursday.

Would it be worth it to call and pretend to be a whacked-out Republican opposed to broadcasting the hearing?

7. I Heard The Call... But There Was NO Reply

Susan and Steve are 2 of the originals who actually have maintained a "middle of the road" stance on C-Span. There's one more that's been there for some time and I like him a lot, but can't remember his name. Not funny since I've been watching them since the 80's. The newer hosts seem transparent to me, AND Brian Lamb has REALLY changed!

Anyway, she didn't flinch or confirm, so I'm thinking it's a NO. Hope not. I've written 2 X's, once for me and once for my husband. Guess I start with my kids now. I have several email addresses, so it should work.

8. Yes, that was Susan ... not Connie
