Should I film Conyers Hearing or is C-SPAN going to do it? I'll go to DC

[symbolman]

if I can scrape up the planefare, etc for it - I've got access to a HiDef camera/lap mikes, etc, and I've got a buddy in DC that can get me into the hearings there, I've done it before when I filmed for the Electronic Vote hearings..

I'm just worried that CSPAN won't cover it, and I have everything I need to film and interview people there - it's a long haul from Hawaii, but I'll do it to make sure that it get's documented..

Maybe I should ask the Admins if I can fund raise for a trip to DC for one or two days so that this doesn't get lost down the Media Memory hole..

I'm cheap but effective :)

My wife's old college lobby pal gets us into places and I'm pretty sure I can get to Conyers and a few others too..

I really feel this is so important, maybe I should contact the Downing Street Memo sites and see if they are interested in someone documenting this.

With actual video the media can't screw with people - you have the TRUTH right in your camera - I also have all the editing tools I need and can output printed DVDS 100 at a time.

Before I ask the Admin I just want to see if there's any interest in doing something like this..

Opinions? Ideas?

Is CSPAN going to cover it, anyone know for sure?

I know some of you have seen my work at http://www.takebackthemedia.com and that I have been on O'Reilly once and Joe Scarborough twice and I don't take any prisoners..

Scarborough threatened to cut off our mikes on the first show :)

(Just so the mods know, I am NOT fundraising, just seeing if there's any interest in case there could be a need for fundraising, which I would do at my own site, unless the Admin were interested.)

1. No word on whether C-SPAN will cover.

I did my bit and emailed ( [e-mail] , in case anyone else feels the urge :+ ) but nothing so far.
We may need to keep you on standby. ;)

2. a kick for an earnest idea.

as you know they have some great people testifying incl joe wilson and ray mcgovern. and katrina vanden heuvel urged the media today on cnn (i saw a downloaded clip online) to cover the hearings so perhaps cspan will cover this

keep us updated and thanks for all you do..

3. The more cameras there, the better, I would imagine. n/t

4. Contacting DSM's site is a great idea.

"Scarborough threatened to cut off our mikes on the first show " I'd take that as a compliment! Keep us posted.

6. if there's any doubt, you should be there!

I'm always glad to see lots of tapers when I go to concerts. I think the same could be said for big moments like this.

7. What I wanna know is...

will that asshole Sensenbrenner crash the party?

[symbolman]

8. Yeah, he's gone over the edge

he'd run around the room giving all the liberals "noogies" with his defunct gavel :)

Which I would of course tape :) we already chased Novak once with the camera, set to the "COPS" music, it was pretty funny, he'd assaulted a guy the day before, and we were there,,

Things have a way of happening around me, so I keep a camera handy :)

9. I cant imagine Senlessbrenner "running"

He looks like he's enjoyed a few too many steaks for that type of exercise. But he sho is one mean, crass, disrespectful SOB.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Looks like he needs to eat alright-- some humble pie!!
:evilgrin:
