here's one that's presently working: Which does not say what BamD claimed, which was that the Dems wanted a bill passed regardless of the outcome of the vote. Did you notice that when the cameras went home so did the brave souls staging the publicity did too. Hmmmmmm so you are still unable to give a quote, but you derail it so you dont have to admit, you bolloxed up. And you wonder why people dont take you seriously. Oh and your comment about the "cameras went home"... THe cameras in the hall were turned off by demand. But the whole of the sit in were shown by streaming videos from cell phones until the end of it right? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-florida-shooting-guns-socialmedia-idUSKCN0Z92LQ?mod=related&channelName=politicsNews http://www.reuters.com/article/us-florida-shooting-guns-sitin-idUSKCN0Z91ZS A few hours earlier, Democratic lawmakers ended a sit-in protest in the House of Representatives over guns. Fueled by Chinese food and pizzas, dozens of them stayed on the House floor all night, at times bursting into the civil rights anthem "We Shall Overcome" before giving up their protest after 25 hours. "It's not a struggle that lasts for one day, or one week, or one month, or one year," said Representative John Lewis, a Democrat from Georgia and a key figure in the civil rights protests of the 1960s. "We're going to win the struggle," said Lewis, who led the House sit-in. That it was screened on facebook, periscope and Cspan when they could? heres more ....information for you http://www.reuters.com/article/us-florida-shooting-guns-sitin-idUSKCN0Z91ZS Of the roughly 20 members of Congress who remained at the sit-in overnight, 19 of them used Facebook Live for a total combined viewership of 3 million. “It really connected with people out there,” Congressman Scott Peters told Reuters. "This whole phenomenon with [live video] struck a nerve." Peters used the application Periscope, which is connected to the social media platform Twitter, to send out video. “Without that, think about it, it would have been a caucus meeting where we talk to ourselves," he added. gah
