Yes, your right. So much for transparency. What else will she renege on?

This sounds like what a dictator does, control of the press. It was just a short while ago that putin shut down the BBC station in russia during the polonium 210 poisoning incident. Pelosi is doing the same thing here, as they poison US with their whacko-agenda. I know, I know, the drive-by media is wall-to-wall unrepentent liberals, but shutting off C-SPAN is one more door closing on our freedoms. It will take a united effort to bounce this clown before she becomes dangerous, are we up to it?

The outgoing congressional Republicans need to be recalled quickly to pass a bill giving C-SPAN statutory authority to broadcast from the House chamber. The dems would then need to wait until they could get a president's signature before passing another bill to undo it.

You've got it.

no-one wants to see their House member sleeping during the proceedings.Having observed House Chamber proceedings a few months ago, I can assure you there was no one sleeping in there. They just weren't there at all. Not more than four or five Congress critters at any one time in the chamber. We noted at the time this must be why C-SPAN cameras are only trained on the podium.

Yup, pelosi isn't ready for prime time, the incident with murtha proved that. Oh, the liberals will say : she's a "work in progress". Yeah, sure, like clinton was a "work in progress". Just an idle speculation : the dems ran a few conservative candidates, then promptly ignored them. What if enough of them got togeather with the republicans and voted in Steny Hoyer as speaker? How does voting for speaker actually work?

I agree with Pelosi and this will most probably be the ONLY time I ever will.
CSPAN longs for "GOTCHAS" to spice it up and increase viewership.

This sounds like what a dictator does, control of the press. A dictator indeed. How is it Pelosi can take away a right that was without question granted to CSPAN 12 years ago when the GOP took over Congress?

CSPAN already has the ability to control the cameras in the House but Nancy Pelosi wants to take that power away from CSPAN.
Dennis Hastert should take the Floor when CSPAN is broadcasting and explain to American People that the Democrats are taking the First Amendment Rights Away from CSPAN and the American People.
