Ok, why can't we have a channel that allows us to see each speach or townhall
that people can watch and access to see who is running in their own area, county area, state level, and presidential..

Why do the pundits keep talking.. Why can't we watch the speaches and see the town halls.. I know the internet has opened up a lot.. its great.. but those are public airways.. and I want this type of information.. There is not one station that I can go to to listen to Obama's speach.. they will play snippets of info and take things out of context.. I hate big corporations and I hate the way our politics is so low info.

5. Bright House here in St Pete, FL has a channel like that.
They have an On Demand channel where you can pull up any speech. I admit that I haven't accessed it since I usually look up the speeches I want to hear on the internet.
