ALERT! HOLD YOUR HORSES! I just called a very good friend of mine who is the DISTRICT DIRECTOR for my House Representative and this person called and checked on the status of the House while I waited on the other line. I was told that the session had ended as normal and most of the representatives have headed home as is perfectly normal.
Yes, the lights have been turned OFF. When you leave your home for vacation, you turn off the lights, right? You don't want a bigger electric bill than usual ... so you turn off the lights. CSPAN is recording but in the dark so the cameras are off but sound continues just as it always does, for the record.
This is some kind of grand stand play by folks in the House. All normal Floor action has been halted for the normal close of business. However, everything that is said on the House Floor, does go into the Congressional Record whether anybody is there or not. So a bunch of yahoos are still pontificating away.... in the dark. DUH.
If you ever turn to CSPAN and see some wild and crazy speech being given on the House Floor for a Representative's pet peeve that is the situation. It looks like he or she might be speaking to an active session but in reality the House is empty or nearly so with the exception of the CSPAN folks recording and the other attention grabbing bozos who want to go "ON THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD" for their pet project or problem.

They should pass out candles to everyone, including those in the audience, and not only will it shed light in the room, but shed light on their point. Perhaps the democrats would like us all to go back to the days when the only light men had to see by at night, was candlelight.

i cannot see that. if the police are there hopefully they will simply keep the peace and allow for the security for the members of congress who are there.
the cops should absolutely be looking for kooks in the gallery since it seems to be a carnival atmosphere. i wonder who they take their orders from and if they must obey certain members of congress?

I got through to the Whip's office to urge them on.
Shoot! It looks like I am going to have to pry open my wallet and send the House Campaign Committee some money.

regardless of what the MSM does with the footage, it will be up on youtube soon and take on a life of its own from there.

Thanks tons.
We have already drilled and found all we need for another 300-400 years INCLUDING INCREASED DEMAND.
But at least this notion is worth getting behind as it gets folks’ attention meaningfully.
