I have CSPAN on hold and they are telling me that the house leadership owns the cameras and will not turn them on. I asked for a screen crawl explaining this to the American people. That is under conseideration.

Seems a necessity, as apparently there are a good many who do not understand the majority party sets the rules/procedures for each House. It is not fair to blame C-SPAN for not having the cameras on, blasting "un-American," etal. These kinds of comments were made during the Clinton years, when C-SPAN would leave a House hearing investigating WH shenanigans in order to comply with its mandate to broadcast the House when in Session, Lamb getting all manner of "He's biased!" charges, no matter how many times it is explained that C-SPAN covers the Floor of the House when IN SESSION and leaves it when the House ADJOURNS.

Appreciate the explanation that C-SPAN doesn’t control the House cameras but it’s still a place to apply pressure. When you storm a Bastille you throw ladders and bodies up everywhere not just the main gate. Gotta get their attention in that ivory tower. Instill some fear.
