The bitching, whining and moaning about the Bernanke hearing being broacast and Paul's not in the following thread is totally unproductive:

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?278557-Today-10am-House-Budget-Committee-Chairman-Ron-Paul-vs-Chairman-Ben-Bernanke-Rnd-1

How about DOING SOMETHING about it? C-SPAN did re-broadcast a black congressional caucus hearing in this time slot on C-SPAN2. Some people calling / contacting them with outrage over why a re-broadcast trumped a live broadcast would be appropriate.

More so, C-SPAN does not have anything scheduled on C-SPAN3 after 2pm today and nothing scheduled on either C-SPAN1 or C-SPAN2 after 4pm today, except one thing at about 10pm. ASK WHEN THEY PLAN TO BROADCAST THIS HEARING approach it from the perspective that it would be unthinkable that they wouldn't. I seriously suspect they plan to anyway, but give them that nudge.

Bitching and moaning among ourselves does NOTHING! Get out there and generate some demand. Let others know about this hearing.

OK, this is interesting. Just talked to C-SPAN and it seems they have to have THEIR camera's there in order to broadcast a hearing. I'm told they can't accept video of hearings and broadcast it. They apparently have a limited number of camera crews to cover such things, and they were busy with Bernanke and a homeland security hearing.

So.... it's up to us to broadcast the availability of this hearing. Here's a tinyurl:

Still spam C-SPAN and include a link to the video.
