I don't see the NSA hearing on CSPAN, but it's nice of them to replay Brownie's testamony from 13 days ago for us. :mad: did they cancel it? It was 6:30 am here, so I might have missed it.

1. This is a great idea for a daily post

and it should be tacked up at the top of GD: Politics everyday.

[Catchawave]

3. I agree about pinning a daily schedule

Great idea ! Not only for Cspan, but the political talk/news shows too :hi:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

6. We tried a daily CSPAN schedule but

only 3 of us were doing the work, and we couldn't keep it up. :(

[Viva_La_Revolution]

5. I was thinking the same thing. it was an experiment.

:)

I'm trying to track down a daily schedule for the House committees too. We can keep an eye on all the critters.

7. Great idea

and good luck.

Look I love how the House is the people's house and all that but don't be surprised to see an agenda that actually says "Standing on chairs and banging pots" I mean is there really anything else for them to do with Delay running things and....well okay Boner is running things now ;-) oops sorry I am contractually obligated to make some mention of Hastert here okay now I am done.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

8. Okay, I posted it in GDPoly, we'll see what kind of response it gets...

Do you know? If you want to find out what the House committees are doing, you have to go to each individual committee page and check their schedule. Did you know? most of the sites are horrible. not current, and usually blatant propaganda sites for the committee leaders.

constituents' awareness. What, haven't you been contacted? :sarcasm:

I think everyone after the 9:30 meetings should be pretty well disgusted and fed up.

9. Viva, are you doing a live thread for the ports hearing?

I'm listening but not sure if it's thread-worthy.
