Remember when candidate Barack Obama promised in 2008 that the healthcare reform debate would be held in full view of the “C-SPAN cameras” as part of his pledge of a new transparency in government?
It hasn’t exactly happened that way, has it? And now, with Democratic leadership in the Senate and House promising to take the process of reconciling the the two bills into even deeper darkness, C-SPAN has released a letter from CEO Brian Lamb showing that it isn’t cable TV’s fault that Americans are being kept from bearing witness to the creation of one of the most sweeping pieces of legislation in four decades.
Here’s a letter Lamb sent to Democratic leadership promising any and all C-SPAN resources to telecast negotiations on the final healthcare bill. Read it and understand who is cutting the American public out of this process. I have been writing for months about the outstanding job C-SPAN has been doing in trying to take viewers behind the closed doors of this process — despite the efforts of Democratic leadership to keep the cameras at bay.
Here’s the letter dated Dec. 30, 2009. After reading it, please let me know how it makes you feel.
The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Harry Reid
Speaker Majority Leader
United States House or Representatives United States Senate
The Honorable John Boehner The Honorable Mitch McConnell
Minority Leader Minority Leader
United States House of Representatives United States Senate
Dear Speaker Pelosi:
Representative Boehner:
Senator Reid:
Senator McConnell:
As your respective chambers work to reconcile the differences between the House and Senate health care bills, C-SPAN requests that you open all important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings, to electronic media coverage.
The C-SPAN networks will commit the necessary resources to covering all of these sessions LIVE and in their entirety. We will also, as we willingly do each day, provide C-SPAN’s multi-camera coverage to any interested member of the Capitol Hill broadcast pool.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely! We are about to get screwed...AGAIN.
You can be certain this freaking scam they're cobbling together will feed the insurance CEOnistas, tax the fuck out of white America, give illegals all the "medical marijuana" they want, build a damn-near impenetrable wall of bureaucrats between you and your doctor, and allow treatment and therapy to the productive citizens only if approved by some national death-care panel...THAT'S why you're not invited to sit in.
You don't put on a condom unless you're gonna fuck somebody: You don't make shady back-room deals unless you're gonna fuck everybody!
Written by the insurance companies, totally unconstitutional. I wish I was selling a product that the federal government made mandatory to buy. The dems will be destroyed in future elections, after the people see what's really in this bill.
Chalk up another one for the Papist-Khazakh...I mean "Judaeo-Christian" cadre:
Obama takes the fall and leaves, quarter-mill-a-year pension in hand and Pelosi & Reid sit pretty on insurance corporation kick-backs...
*Shakes head* Makes me hope that shit about the world coming to an end in 2012 is for real...Fuck 'em all!
