Did you appreciate the video coverage of the entire US House floor during the House votes?

C-SPAN does not normally have that view, we are trying to change & make mandatory those cameras so we can see what goes on in the whole room, not just the dais.

Loud booing. Animated arguments in the aisles of the House chamber. Sleeping children. Lawmakers scrolling their phones. Lawmakers lunging, or not lunging, at each other. Lawmakers reading books with pointed titles.

The typical live stream from the U.S. House is focused on the dais and the desks from which members of each party address the chamber. But this week brought an unusual amount of drama as the American public watched lawmakers struggle to elect a new Speaker of the House of Representatives. 

The House Radio-TV Gallery told The Washington Post that C-SPAN was given permission in advance of the voting for its cameras to visually roam across the chamber. But once a speaker is confirmed, C-SPAN will go back to its normal procedure.

C-SPAN has given the public a closer look at the factions of the GOP that have been at loggerheads.

This free approach to broadcasting the People's House should become the standard! 

Let’s send a message to the Speaker of the House and Majority Leader in the Senate that We The People require the unfiltered view of the American Democratic Republic in action.
