Is Will Pitt going to Ohio? Why isn't Ohio on Monday's C-Span schedule?

[Stephanie]

We have to publicize Conyers' hearing on vote fraud in Ohio on Monday. What news sources will be covering it? We need to get the word out to everyone we know.

4. I just wrote to Cspan

the address is

[Scout1071]

18. I just dropped CSPAN a note...

To Whom it may concern:

I would like to request that you air the Conyer's Hearings scheduled to take place on Monday in Columbus, OH. As a citizen, I am very concerned with the events surrounding the 2004 election and these hearings point to very serious charges of election fraud. We The People, want to see the evidence so I humbly request that you reconsider. There are millions of viewers in all the big blue cities that are more than a little interested in these historical hearings. Please do the right thing.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

[tommcintyre]

24. Thanks Scout! I incorporated your letter in the new Conyers Forum Blaster

See below:

[WilliamPitt]

5. I can't make it to this one

I have the speech on Sunday, and then I have to go to LA for a manager's meeting early next week. Not enough hours in the day.

If someone else goes and puts together a report, however, I can see it is published.

[Stephanie]

6. Thanks Will! Did you hear that, journalists?

We need someone to cover the hearing.

I wonder if Pacifica will cover it? I wonder if anyone will live-blog? Have you heard of anyone?

Don't you expect that this hearing will be even more consequential than the first?

[WilliamPitt]

8. Pacifica is a good choice

They did the last one. Get on their case.

[ohio_liberal]

9. I'm going with a neighbor

I can't do live blogging but I can text message like a mutha'. :)

[WilliamPitt]

10. Take notes. Write a report.

Send it here: [e-mail]

Headline so I see it: YO WILL, REPORT FROM COLUMBUS

[ohio_liberal]

11. I can do that

It will be amateur for sure but I'll do what I can.

[WilliamPitt]

12. If you would allow me

I can help you with the final version. Whatever you do, it has to be done pretty quickly. We live and die by the fast turnaround on TO. :)

[ohio_liberal]

14. Absolutely

I'll have to work on the "quickly" part. It's a 2 1/2 hour drive home.

On edit:

We found internet access downtown. Scratch the 2 1/2 hours :)

[WilliamPitt]

15. Outstanding

[AtLiberty]

7. Can't you halogram yourself to LA, Will?

We need you in Columbus on Monday.

[senseandsensibility]

13. I know you'll do what's best for the cause, Will

but I'd like to second the above post. It seems like we need you there.

[Stephanie]

16. I'd still like to know WHO is going to cover this.

It's fantastic that we have an Ohioan who can report on it for Truthout, but what about LIVE coverage? Radio, C-Span? Can any websites stream it? There doesn't seem to be coverage planned, and yet I keep hearing that Arnebeck and others will be making some important points on Monday.

[4democracy]

17. What about Air America Radio, do they ever do this type of thing?

the producer of one of the shows was at Conyers Wed. meeting, but I don't know if they did a broadcast from there.

[Duer 157099]

19. If c-span won't cover it

Then please, just somebody with a video camera just please tape it so we can at least distribute *something* here online. Pretend you're a budding Michael Moore, or something.

MSM? screw 'em! We know how to use technology for cryin' out loud, someone please take your camera(s) to the steps of City Hall (or wherever they end up) and TAPE it for us.

Please?

[ohio_liberal]

20. I'm planning on taking a digital camcorder

and a camera.

[Maat]

21. Thanks.

I'd like to see what you come up with.

[ohio_liberal]

22. We'll see what happens

We might not be allowed to use it. I don't know the etiquette for this type of forum.

[Red State Blues]

23. Well

If c-span or someone else isn't covering it the Dem's BETTER be BEGGING you to use it! If it is a public forum I believe you would have all the rights that the press would.

27. Pacifica

Hi. I work for the Judiciary Committee and lurk here from time to time.

I think Pacifica radio will cover, possibly live. No word on C-span. As we get more information Monday morning about who is covering, it will be posted as an advisory on the House Judiciary Committee democrats website.

Saw a question about camcording here. Of course we would welcome that. Anything that can be done so the most people get to see what happens would be great.

Thanks for all of your support.

[ohio_liberal]

28. That's great news

I'm the one taking a camcorder along.

[Freddie Stubbs]

29. Why won't Kucinich be there?

He's from OH, isn't he?
