Kudos to C-span

[madamesilverspurs]

for refusing to go along with Paul Ryan's attempt to muzzle the conversation! Now running a live feed via Facebook so that WE THE PEOPLE can see and hear what's going on in the House.

Thank you, C-span. THANK YOU! and WELL DONE!

22. I had been out all day and came home to news of the sit in

and to C-Span blackout.
Who was responsible for the blackout???? I thought it was C-Span, but if it was not, I gotta go change a comment in another thread.

24. It was ryan's call-- stupid ass

Apparently he has the authority to do so. Well, CSPAN persevered thanks to Periscope (I forget who had it) and it live streamed it anyway!!!

HUMONGOUS KUDOS TO CSPAN + PERISCOPE (and the guy who provided it)

11. This is the most exciting political event since 1963

It transcends all of the bs we've watched unfold for decades.

Thank you C-SPAN. You're doing the right thing.

14. Patching into the live Periscope feed has changed the game here in the 21st Century. No longer...

...can the incompetent media keep the truth at bay when there is a cell phone camera anywhere nearby.

Thanks to Rep. Scott Peters for providing this inside view of a historic event that would seem to have found the broadcast/cable media sleeping on the job (read that: purposely avoiding).

23. Amen and amen! It's a new day!
