Did not see one yet. Trying to access CSPAN on line. Site looks different. Are they requiring a registration to watch?

[ColdOne]

I will be shocked if he is replace. So upsetting.

[Yosemitest]

Go for their local offices listed in your phone book.
It's more effective.

Just like ESPN3, you have to have cable to get access. Too many cord cutter (like me) viewing content online.

Add Tom McClintock to that list 202-225-2511

Calling toe Roll for the quorum....electronic 15 mins...

[Yosemitest]

CALL YOUR LOCAL STATE AND CITY OFFICE.

A number of democrats are attending Cuomo’s funeral and will push up the threshold to deny B a 1st ballot win

[Paine in the Neck]

I don’t know the others but I believe Williams, TX25, is gettable.

[no-to-illegals]

May the House ‘pull the trigger’!!!

[Jane Long]

Just spoke to Williams office....staffer said he’s undecided and taking opinions from his constituents...blah, blah. I said I hope he does the right thing...what the voters sent him to do...and support fellow Texas Rep Gohmert for Speaker to #FireBoehner.

Untrue.

The livestreaming of federal official activities such as the House and the Senate in session, is going on the same as always.

Registration is for other types of C-Span prgrams.

We are watching the House session now on C-Span 1.

No registration, no cable access required, for this one.

“May the House ‘pull the trigger’!!!”

More likely, they will pull your finger

[struggle]

Does Boehner need a full majority? 219? Or a quorum majority?

[Jane Long]

Oh.....I have :) Faxing and tweeting works well, too.

I’m calling Reps all across the country....that’s the only reason I tried the main s/b. Even their direct lines and faxes are getting pounded :)

[Ray76]

A Boehner win would be a Pyrrhic victory, the GOP will be beyond salvage.

[demshateGod]

Look at them, smiling, cracking jokes, patting each other’s backs as they consolidate their power and divide our wealth between themselves.

That's what it looks like to me. Link upthread is working though.

[goldstategop]

He needs 218 votes. Which at this point, is pretty much a done deal.

[dsrtsage]

“Just spoke to Williams office....staffer said he’s undecided and taking opinions from his constituents...”

You should have asked how many constituents have called urging him to vote for boner

Called Rep. King’s office to thank him for his upcoming vote against J.B. The person who answer the phone told me that King already voted against him. I’m not sure if I heard him correctly. Am I right in that the vote has not happened yet?
