Pelosi to lead march on Senate tonight during Iraq debate
by John Aravosis (DC) · 7/17/2007 05:04:00 PM ET


I just heard that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is going to lead a march of House members from the House to the Senate tonight to lend their support to Senate Democrats who are holding an all-night session to challenge the Republicans' ongoing filibuster of efforts to change the course in Iraq.

1. I love it! Good for the House Dems! Rec'd! nt

[niceypoo]

31. well, with impeachment, "off the table," and all...

...She is finding it a little extra time for doing things like this...

[AX10]

2. K & R!

[Hamlette]

3. a R should be a K....don't cha think? Anyway, K&R n/t

[earthboundmisfit]

4. Of historic significance, I'd say.

This may be an event that will be taught about in U.S. History classes in the future! (At least, I hope it'll have that level of significant result...)

6. Somebody get them banners and drummers to help them march.

Maybe teach them some inspiring songs they can sing to keep spirits up?

Seriously, though, they should invite all Americans in the area who want the war to end to march with them. I wish they had thought to organize a larger march beforehand.

8. What a great idea.

If I lived there, I'd go. That would be awesome.

[proud patriot]

9. Wheee

:woohoo:

[LWolf]

11. Great to hear.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[KingFlorez]

12. That makes a strong statement

Good idea from Pelosi.

[senseandsensibility]

13. I hope this is televised

What time will it happen?

[More Than A Feeling]

14. If the networks and cable covered this, it would huge, historic even.

so naturally, they won't.

[senseandsensibility]

17. Looks like you're as cynical as I am

:P

[tridim]

19. It'll get through to the people who are awake..

Democrats, Iraqis and the rest of the World will see our party fighting for what's right.

The only people who wont see it are Faux viewers and the lazy American middle. Screw em.

[rucognizant]

29. 3rd category!

I'm NOT a Faux viewer, NOT lazy.............I'm a poor senior on too little SS $. I turned off my $43.00 per month Direct TV for the summer to play catch-up with the bills!
I'm dying here, the blogospehere isn't reporting adequately AT ALL. There is too much extraneous white noise irrelevantly chit chat about drinks being enjoyed baseball game scores inserted, ......commentary on Senators,outfits, a perfect mirror reflection of the MSM infotainment style
2 years ago William Rivers Pitt did an excellent live blog on a march in Washington.
Years ago NPR did a live broadcast of the Thomas/Hill Senate discussion for several days running...................today they are "fund raising"! and doing the usual cutesy, clueless, yuppee shtick!
R U Cognizant!:( :mad: :puke: :banghead: :rant:

36. CSPAN.COM

They stream audio for all 3 channels.
the streams are fairly low BW for the audio so you should be able to get them on dial up... just don't try to do anything else.. like breath, because you wont have the remaining speed ;).

what is it cspan.com
cspan2.com
cspan3.com I think
anyway google it, the streams are on their main site I think, if not a little digging will get you there :)

[progressoid]

18. C-span....maybe.

[wiggs]

15. This is a good idea. Creative, unusual. nt

[ronnykmarshall]

16. Remember during the Anita Hill hearings .....

and Boxer (then a congresswoman) and several other congresswomen marched on the Senate?

That was great.

That the turning point for my mom to leave the GOP.

[KAT119]

20. Thank You Nancy! K&R

[fed-up]

21. I so wish I could be there-TROOPS Out NOW!!! nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. Party, party, party! Order in some pizzas and beer! Will The SPAN cover it? n/t

[emilyg]

28. Nancy - I salute you!

[rucognizant]

30. Afterthought.............

BTW, Hillary's blog makes NO MENTION of this event AT ALL! It's all about her & her campaign!
R U C

[emilyg]

38. How about Edwards and Obama?

[whistle]

32. Has the MSM jumped on this or are the Big Five news networks

....pretending this is a non-issue?

[Stuckinthebush]

33. Oh, I'm sure they'll use the word "stunt"

or some other silliness because they either don't understand the importance of this issue or don't want the American people to take the Dems seriously.

[jwirr]

35. This morning the Mother Jones News is calling it an unsuccessful

over nighter. I our own are calling it that what the hell happened?

[Stuckinthebush]

37. Jaded media people

They don't get it.

[Knightly_Knews]

34. Well that worked out well...

After the all night filibuster, not one damn vote has changed.. Everything still remains the same.. No deadline, continue war, and the attack of Iran still on the table..
Spineless, cowardly pieces of shit.. All of them!!!

I watched all night last night, I did not see any March.. Too much Chamomile I guess, they just couldn't stay awake long enough. You know how those grammar school aged people get sleepy early in the night?

Fuck them all, nothing will change, AS USUAL!

[Pawel K]

39. I feel why you are so upset but be happy you were wrong

give them a chance. They just totally pulled the bill which means there will be no funding if they go on vacation in august as funding runs out end of september. They are not caving in this time, I'm finally proud of them.

[Knightly_Knews]

40. Wow then I retract my previous statement...

Is someone finally getting a backbone?

[Joe Chi Minh]

41. Only the man who took on the mafia some time ago, over a gambling issue.

[Knightly_Knews]

42. Shit, he is taking on the Mafia now...nt

[Joe Chi Minh]

43. Well then, now you know it won't be new to him. But don't you feel ashamed?

Running off at the mouth like that.

Would you take them on? You sure talk a great fight.

Here's a link you might like to use.

[Knightly_Knews]

44. Would I take them on?

Are you serious? Hell yes... Either way we are going to die, so what the fuck does it really matter? Besides this is nothing more than theatrics.. AGAIN... Nothing will change as I said before... Nothing.. The war will continue... If not with Iraq, then Iran.. The troops are not coming home.. Trust me on that one. It's all nothing more than stall tactics.. The only thing Reid accomplished was getting reps on record for voting against the war.. What's new, we knew that already!

[Pawel K]

45. Did you read what I posted? There will be no funding

unless republicans cave in and vote on the ammendment which will in turn start withdrawing troops very soon. So thanks to Reid they have 2 choices, stop the funding now or approve funding with a withdraw clause deadline.
