Anybody catching Obey on C-Span 2 right now?

[Sydnie]

He is laying out a laundry list of things that have happened in the House ... keeping votes open .. much more

Announcing a package of 14 bills to snip the corruption in the bud.

good stuff!

[Sydnie]

1. Forbiding Congressional travel .... if it is attached to a lobbist at all

Hope someone else is watching this too.

[Lindsay]

2. I heart Mr. Obey.

One righteous dude.

[babylonsister]

3. Hi, Sydnie-I'm listening! nt

[Sydnie]

5. Hi babylonsister

So much info here, I just know I won't remember it all by myself.

He is getting all righteous on my screen on a Tuesday. It's been a great year so far, hasn't it?

[babylonsister]

14. LOL, yes it has, all 3 days of it!

:hi:

[MnFats]

4. Sweet. keep the cube rats posted please...

Obey's one of my favorite congressmen.
voted twice for him and would again if i still lived over there.

[Sydnie]

10. Wish I could help you but he is ticking it off so fast

there is no way I can keep up.

Where is rodeodance when they are needed? LOL

[MnFats]

12. understood. how about an occasional one-line update?

won't be getting out of here for a while....but If all else fails I;ll bet I can find a transcript someplace.
sounds like it might be worth it, no?

[Sydnie]

16. Worth it, yes!

Barney is talking about vote switching and holding votes open until they get just enough votes to do what they not. Changing votes to muddy their records for the voters.

[Sydnie]

18. the republicans are bulemic where democracry is concerned

it gives them great gastric distress. <-- paraphrased! Barney was on fire.

[mandyky]

6. Thanks for the heads up!

Watching now!

[Lindsay]

7. Thanks for the heads-up, by the way, Sydnie.

Just saw there are other Congresspeople there. This could be very good.

[Sydnie]

9. You're very welcome

Glad there are more ears here than just mine! :hi:

[Sydnie]

8. this is pretty far reaching stuff!

We will need the transcript of this from C-Span just to understand how deep this is.

think they can get this past now, or will it have to wait until we get control again?

[Sydnie]

11. Barney Frank up now!

He's my rep. Just got an email from him last week about things coming up soon. Hope he makes it clear what he has in mind now.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. You're lucky! I love Barney! I love my Senators too though.

Durbin and Obama.:loveya:

He's laying out just how corrupt the repuke party is. This is GREAT!

[Sydnie]

15. I love yours too!

Barney is kicking ass isn't he?

Kept the vote open longer than the vote on the day they evacuated. Amazing. He's right. they should just have drills when they want to cheat and twist arms.

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. He's ROYALLY kickin' some ass!

"The repubs are BULIMIC when it comes to Democracy in the House." Go Barney!

[Tactical Progressive]

23. "Jack Abramoff is the gift that keeps taking."

Barney has a way with words.

[Sydnie]

19. David Price (NC) up now

talking about Newt and partisanship.

[Sydnie]

20. "President determined to lead from the right in rather than the

center out".

[Sadie5]

22. Prez does as he is told

Can you imagine anything more ridiculous than Bush leading this country?

[Sydnie]

21. Tom Allen (ME) - "trying to restore the people's voice

to the people's house".
