C-SPAN Debating Whether to Rebroadcast Gore's Speech

[nofoil]

C-SPAN right now is debating the decision whether they will re-air Al Gore's crucial speech. Lend your voice. Tell C-SPAN to re-air it! Democracy itself is at stake here.

The number is [phone]

I called C-SPAN just now, and they said that they would post any scheduling information regarding IF or when they will re-air the speech to their webpage after 6:00PM ET today

Here's the link http://www.cspan.org/about/index.asp?code=About

The below image is from today. I was THERE! It was so powerful! Can't you tell:



Here's a link to the AP article about this historic speech from ABC News: Gore Calls for Special Council on Eavesdropping

And here's a link to Brad Blog, which has an exclusive from the Executive Director of the National Security Whistle-blowers Association

Now call C-SPAN! Time's ticking!

1. Wasn't it supposed to be replayed at 9:00 pm CT? Why the hell

are they changing their schedule?

:wtf:

[nofoil]

3. I just spoke with them

They said that it has not been scheduled, and decisions were still being made.

[niyad]

2. just called--c=span it airs a program 3 times--apparently they are

indicating that it will be re-aired tomorrow. keep up the pressure, everyone--this needs to be shown again and again.

anyone know where there is a transcript available yet?

6. Transcript

You can find a transcript at http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Text_of_Gore_speech_0116.html

22. that is what they indicated to me as well. Said to check

the schedule after 6pm when the post updates.

[rainy]

4. I just called and they said that they re-air all of their stuff 3 times

said to check later for tomorrows listings.

[Mabus]

5. Done

They said their schedule would refresh at 6 (eastern) this evening. She mentioned "tomorrow" and I asked if it was going to be replayed tonight. She hesitated and then said to check back at 6.

On edit: she said to check the refreshed schedule at 6, not check back with her.

7. They're noticing ...

I just spoke to the nicest woman who reassured me we'll have two more viewings of the speech.

[Ian David]

8. They told me they re-broadcast all programs three times. n/t

[globalvillage]

9. I called. It took a while for them to answer.

She was very nice, though. Said to check the schedule at 6 and look for video on their homepage.
I think they're getting a lot of calls.
:-)

11. Great News

Let's keep up the pressure.

[caligirl]

19. same same. Since I caught the last 20 or so minutes I told her I would

really appreciate the chance to see the whole thing. She said policy is to air stuff 3 times.

[AuntiBush]

10. Yes, nofoil - I can tell!

I'm right there with you, in spirit but by God I wish I had been there.

Cried, clapped, goosebumped and knew I had someone in power that gave a damn. Anyone that assume Al Gore has no power is out of the loop.

He's given us so much today. Hope everyone realizes this.

[nofoil]

12. They're only out of the loop...

If nobody's paying attention. This is a good day.

[AuntiBush]

16. Word of Mouth

Tell everyone you know. I didn't do it purposely, rather to tell others - being upset over the course of the past year, more so.

Now, more folks have joined in, and know thanks to my emails and phone calls.

Word of Mouth: The best news-carrier ever!

[robbedvoter]

13. Even if you saw it, ask for a rerun! More people need to watch.

I e-mailed here
[e-mail]

[YvonneCa]

14. Just called...

...same experience: Took a long time to answer, said they would replay 3 times, said check their website.:patriot:

[hedda_foil]

15. Done! And kicked and nominated!!

Thank you, nofoil, for letting us know. BTW, everyone, ask for them to rebroadcast the speech this evening because there are very few people who can watch during the day or late at night, when they often schedule rebroadcasts. This is to important to omit.

[nofoil]

17. Good point

Would be a shame if it got lost at 1:00AM!

[otohara]

18. Done

w/ pleasure

[Mind_your_head]

20. Done - e-mailed them. n/t

[nofoil]

21. I just called them again

They said you can get a webcast of the speech from their homepage (http://www.cspan.org). I tried. It didn't work. Could be a fire-wall issue, but then again, who checks the C-SPAN webpage that much anyway? I'm going to e-mail them too.

[cmdrzog]

28. Its working for me

Thanks for the link.

[usregimechange]

23. So are they going to re-air it?

[nofoil]

They said

They usually air it 3x, but nothing was certain. They asked that we check their webpage at 6PM. 40 minutes away. Just hoping and praying that it doesn't get lost in the middle of the night. Would be nice to hear it on C-SPAN Radio at a normal time, too. Their e-mail is [e-mail]. We get that station loud and clear here in DC!

[w8liftinglady]

24. I emailed them,too-gave them kudos for being a part of history

[rodeodance]

26. Ditto here. Let's all check at 6 and report in as to the time. I also

wrote CBS and told them that it should be on free national tv. Please join me in calling all of them.

[nofoil]

29. Great Idea!

Do you have the contact info?

[cry baby]

30. dang, lines busy...I'll keep trying.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

31. I just called. Same thing about checking schedule at 6PM but she also

let me know it could be viewed at their site online! I told her that I heard that it was a fantastic, extremely important speech and that they should re-air it.

Meanwhile, I did watch it live, and for half of it wept as I watched My President tell it like it is. The Sociopaths are trying to paint Gore now as a liar, and an angry man. Of course he's angry! He wouldn't be a patriotic American if he wasn't. Blessings to Al, for telling Truth to Power!

[nofoil]

37. Amen!

My once and future President!

[YvonneCa]

32. 8 P.M. EST on C-Span ...

...just announced!:patriot:

[chat_noir]

33. it's up!

http://www.c-span.org/

[erinlough]

34. Am I missing it?

I don't see where it airs at 8:00 EST:shrug:

[Eurobabe]

35. It's there, but I am having a hard time streaming, get Podcast

instead. You don't see Gore, but you hear him. Next best thing.

http://www.c-span.org/podcast/

[YvonneCa]

36. It was posted...

...twice during Pelosi's town hall meeting (underneath, along with Capital News Headlines). I'm watching out here in California. It said Updated Schedule...Gore speech at 8 P.M. EST (that's 5 o'clock here. It'll be on in a little over an hour and a half).

[nofoil]

38. WE MADE A DIFFERENCE

Yeay! Congrads, DU! I think today, we made a real difference. Prime time for Al. Not bad.

[stlsaxman]

39. Beautiful Pic! Did you take it? Beautiful speech! Damn I gotta watch it

again!

Oh- and it's listed on c-span's "recent video" streams, just so y'all know....

Thank you, Mr. President!
