[kristinn]

Thank you. Faxed them over now.

Sauropod will be filming with his video camera. But it's apples and oranges we're talking about. If C-SPAN is going to give a huge block of time to a communist front group to spew their America-hating views, it's only fair to give our one-hour rally airtime.

[RonPaulLives]

This is, dare I say it, an outrage. We need to BUMP this every single minute or so until the rally, so that every single Freeper and lurker knows what to do.

[Fred Mertz]

Dear Program Director,

I am flying from Kentucky in a few hours to attend the Patriots Rally at Constitution Gardens tomorrow morning.

I understand you are covering the anti-war ANSWER event. We will be there nearby.

Please at least provide a cameraperson to tape our event. It should only take about an hour for the speaking part of it.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. You did a good job of taping our Patriots Rally II back in October.

Sincerely,

xxMy Namexx

In the subject line I put the date, event and time. I hope they tape us at least.

[kristinn]

Thanks!

[kristinn]

Thank you, Fred. See you tonight.

FairnessSCHMARENESS, my FRiend...all the FOCUS will be on US no matter who the VastLeftWingMedyuWhore'd decides to film. I say we make copies of this Rally available fer sale with the proceeds going to FR.com...I'll buy one and would appreciate the opportunity to purchase footage of past rallies I've attended. I've got some footage I could share, too...let's stuff our RadicalRightWingViews down the Left's Collectivist Throats!!

FReegards...MUD

[Mustang]

Just sent Lamb and friends a note of "dissatisfaction"...

Stay focused and watch your six!

Mustang sends.

[kristinn]

That's the spirit!

To all, I've got to go offline for a few hours. Please keep this thread bumped and call / e-mail C-SPAN.

[Fred Mertz]

See you at the Orleans House! Keeping this bumped.

I better start packing. Yikes!

It's not just FReepers doing this, it's veterans from across the country coming to D.C.

Don't get me wrong Kristinn...What you are doing here is admirable. If more people did exactly the same, the world would be a much better place. You do WAAAAAY more than I can lay claim to. And the fact that you're doing it for (And with) veterans makes it just that much more important and special.

But there are limits to how much airtime C-SPAN has. And I can only assume they base their coverage somewhat on how many people may be interested. Unfortunately, the last rally showed there weren't a lot of people interested.

But again, keep up the hard work, and good luck.

[Fred Mertz]

I predict riots tomorrow, but not near us.

[The South Park Republican]

The only apparent quota here is a idealogy quota.

I disagree. I watch C-SPAN quite a bit. Before FOX it was our ONLY television outlet. Of course now that our guy is in the White House it's only natural that the democRATs utilize C-SPAN a bit more than us. They're more pi$$ed than us.

Brian Lamb and C-SPAN are about as straight down the middle as possible. And all the C-SPAN bashing on this thread is nothing more than partisain propaganda. Which is cool because it's coming from us, but it does get old...And it waters down the effect of complaints against real bias.

But that's just my opinion.

[Fred Mertz]

Thanks for the bumps pal.

ALL: please provide an occasional bump, a phone call, and an e-mail to C-SPAN....thanks!

[mr.sarcastic]

Unfortunately, the last rally showed there weren't a lot of people interested.

You REALLY believe that's what it showed? Hardly. The fact that a single conservative even bothered to show up and counter those morons shows our strength of resolve. And conservatives can't easily hop on busses from around the country and blow a weekend in DC like all the leftist college sheeples. And those who can't sure as heck want to see some equal coverage on TV. So what if it means C-SPAN has to push back the House Subcommittee Meeting on Appropriations for Resource Management in Zimbabwe.

[Humidston]

I haven't heard back from Charlie Daniels either, Kristinn, but that doesn't mean he won't respond eventually. I'm counting on him and I have high hopes.

In the meantime, you guys have a great time and get those fascists told! Wish we could all be there!

[mr.sarcastic]

...but it does get old...

If it's "getting old" then find another thread to read and post on. There's a million of 'em, and nobody's forcing you to continue reading this one. I'd be more blunt and just tell you to kiss off, but then that would be rude, wouldn't it?

That's just my opinion.

[Fred Mertz]

Thanks for contacting Charlie Daniels. I'll let you know if I see him tomorrow.
