1. I will tonight and update my website

I keep replying to posts so I'll remember to check them when I get home.

I have two emails plus hubby's one so that's three emails from three email addresses. Not that I'm trying to make it look like 3 people emailed instead of 1!!

2. Email sent. When are the hearings?

Thanks Will.

[ClassWarrior]

3. I called C-SPAN, and the receptionist finished my sentence for me...

Then in an exasperated voice said, "Yes, we're going to air it." I thought he was kind of rude, but I said thank you very much and signed off.

Victory, perhaps?...

NGU.

10. He told me he wasnt sure of the time frame

they would cover, but would cover at least "some" of it. I told him I hope they decided to cover the whole thing but thanked them for the whatever coverage they would give this

[WilliamPitt]

17. Outstanding.

Great work, everyone.

24. The receptionist was probably a Bush** voter.

4. Thank you for reposting this! I emailed C-Span and faxed

My Senators and Congresswoman to ask them to attend. I also forwarded this to friends and have posted this on numerous AOL message boards.

[propagandafreegal]

5. I have! nm

[txindy]

8. My Senators and Representatives won't be there

They're from Texas, so I can say with absolute certainty that they will not be at those hearings. Not unless they were subpoenaed, anyway. :evilgrin:

Looking forward to watching this on C-Span, as I requested of that network.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. I wouldn't bet money on my Senators, Hillary Clinton and Chuck

Schumer (both Dems) attending. My Congresswoman is a Republican, and I don't expect her there either. I just feel better that I once again am reminding them of their duties to Democracy. ;)

13. I always email my texas reps and senators.

It's only common courtesy to afford them the op to be among the first of their crowd jump ship.

Should we invite the foreign press? I'm going to send about 30 or so with addys that I've collected so far.

edit to add--
I just found this at cspan. I'm going to spend some time this evening mailing from there, starting with "Policy Organizations
DNC, RNC, AFL-CIO, NAACP, AEI, ACLU, CSIS, Brookings Institution..."

18. Randi Rhodes just mentioned the hearing

asked her listeners to email cspan too :-)

[Jack Bone]

19. just did....

Kick

[DARE to HOPE]

20. Yes, I did! But I think they have been inundated

because both emails, the one to [e-mail], and the one to [e-mail] bounced back--they said "capacity" was the problem. And I tried the programming number at 765, but the voice mail was FULL, no room for any more messages! I did get through to the 202 number, and they said, "Okay, thank you."

Have been emailing every list I have to contact C-Span. :-)

"This is what democracy looks like!"

[eowyn_of_rohan]

21. YES! 2 emails and a phone call

They are going to cover "at least part of it".
