You guys got the most powerful weapon now
Get you hand on cspan recording from start to finish the complete one

Burn this into DVD
This is a very powerful message.
The objectives of the objection was very clear.
The fact that no mass media cover it will shock everyone who see this.
Time to go on the offensive
I see DU got 60k members

Just burn DVD and start spreading it around. Everyone can do this.
Tell William Pitt ask him to get the permission from Cspan.

12. I agree, the media are a major part of the problem now.
If we can get more people to start looking beyond
the TV screen, maybe there's a chance.

What took place was history. It hasn't happened
since 1877. There's no legitimate excuse for
the mass media not to cover it.

14. Yes
And how difficult is it to burn DVD and spread it around.
If everyone in DU help out and the other organisation too you can have people distributing this all over the country

Anyway you got to prepare for 2006 and this will cream them if they do not do what is requested.

4. Is there a transcript available
I want all the quotes from the Repugs. They were so vile and hateful. People need to see and hear what these so called representatives are really like.

The demonetization of anyone who dared to oppose their fearless leader was truly terrifying.

9. I taped it, but missed the first part
I didn't start the tape until about 1:30.

Was Jesse Jackson around? Did I miss him talking about it? I love to hear him speak.

11. I have listen to it twice
From press conference , objections, debate in the House and the Senate
Its awesome.... The more the press or tv try to suppress it the more powerful the DVD will be.
The Republician has only one choice to launch a full investigation and also to change the voting system
If not 2 years down the line they will lose big time.

5. Yeah, I have some decent video from it.
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 08:39 AM by tasteblind
It could be edited into a great ten minute segment of a larger documentary on the issue.

This is about the rally and the march, not the floor debates yesterday.

I have dial up, so I went to the library to get the stream.... Guess what? CSpan is blocked at the library!! A US Government broadcast is denied to library computer users!! I'm telling you, we need an emoticon for spitting mad!

25. links to video are at top of solar bus website - download the video
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 12:12 PM by garybeck

you should be able to right-click and download (save) the video files. the files can then be burnt on to a black CD, which is much simpler than trying to do DVDs.

26. You should contact someone wealthy like Soros, or
Streisand or even say Al Gore to get some backing to get this on the shelves and sold. It is a great opportunity to put it into print too!

32. No need
Let it be pure and true.
I have watch all the press coverage on the objections
It is so twisted, what chance your elected representatives have when their words can be twisted like this.

Up to you guys who is inform and all who watch Cspan coverage to promote the truth.
Your elected representative has play the last card
They risk everything when they object just to get media attention and world attention.

It is also good to save up all the coverage on the objection by all the twisted media as proof of partisan media coverage

33. excellent idea
and don't be shy about bringing up again and again,so that more people hear about it.

If 60,000 members all vowed to give 10 copies away that would influence 600,000.We need a bigger impact but it is start.

34. Why don't we have more overseas visitors posting?
We need the HELP of the entire free world. They need to put pressure by writing article in their papers and putting pressure on their governments to stand up to the tyrant *

37. Read the transcript at the Congressional Record website ...
it's really sobering. If they could see themselves in print "for the record" you'd think they'd be embarrassed and ashamed. They definitely were speaking from fear.
