Should I film Conyers Hearing or is C-SPAN going to do it? I'll go to DC
Advertisements [?]
if I can scrape up the planefare, etc for it - I've got access to a HiDef camera/lap mikes, etc, and I've got a buddy in DC that can get me into the hearings there, I've done it before when I filmed for the Electronic Vote hearings..

I'm just worried that CSPAN won't cover it, and I have everything I need to film and interview people there - it's a long haul from Hawaii, but I'll do it to make sure that it get's documented..

Maybe I should ask the Admins if I can fund raise for a trip to DC for one or two days so that this doesn't get lost down the Media Memory hole..

I'm cheap but effective :)

My wife's old college lobby pal gets us into places and I'm pretty sure I can get to Conyers and a few others too..

I really feel this is so important, maybe I should contact the Downing Street Memo sites and see if they are interested in someone documenting this.

With actual video the media can't screw with people - you have the TRUTH right in your camera - I also have all the editing tools I need and can output printed DVDS 100 at a time.

Before I ask the Admin I just want to see if there's any interest in doing something like this..

Opinions? Ideas?

Is CSPAN going to cover it, anyone know for sure?

I know some of you have seen my work at http://www.takebackthemedia.com and that I have been on O'Reilly once and Joe Scarborough twice and I don't take any prisoners.. :)

Scarborough threatened to cut off our mikes on the first show

(Just so the mods know, I am NOT fundraising, just seeing if there's any interest in case there could be a need for fundraising, which I would do at my own site, unless the Admin were interested.)
