Al Gore on C-Span Monday, 1/16/06 NOON

YAY!!! I just got my C-Span schedule and it says that Gore's speech will be televised live on Monday, January 16, at 12:00 Noon EST.


MONDAY:

· Fmr. Vice Pres. Al Gore Speech on Executive Power (12pm) - LIVE
· Pres. Bush Remarks on Martin Luther King Day (3pm) - LIVE

Thanks for the info.

I'll be driving in the MLK Day parade.

since C-Span never starts or ends broadcasts at the time they publish. Things often start late and end late.

my Pres. :loveya:

Can't think of a better way than to spend my birthday... an hour or so on C-span with the dreamy & brillant Al Gore.

I hope Al Gore kicks bush's* ass from here to Sunday for your birthday!

And maybe we'll both get our wishes.

Bad - turn that frown upside down.

:)

Peace.

of Martin Luther Kings Life!

Apparently, people who register now will get on a wait list, but they are saying that they expect wait-listees will get in.

You're invited to an important speech by former Vice President Al Gore at Constitution Hall in Washington DC this coming Monday at noon.

Dear MoveOn member,

Al Gore is giving an important speech on Monday in D.C. and you're invited. Bob Barr is introducing him (yes, that Bob Barr—the former Clinton impeachment manager). What brought this odd couple together?

On December 17, the president admitted to authorizing a broad program of repeated NSA wiretapping of American citizens, without warrants, in defiance of safeguards mandated by Congress.1 This assertion of executive power threatens to place unchecked power in the president, ignoring our constitutional system and threatening our most basic civil liberties.


We believe, like many across the political spectrum, that if America doesn't respond, our constitutional system may be damaged beyond repair. In response, we've joined a broad coalition of progressive and conservative organizations, called the Liberty Coalition, that are committed to defending the core principles of American democracy.


The Liberty Coalition and the American Constitution Society are cosponsoring a speech this coming Monday by former Vice President Gore at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC about the dangers of unchecked executive power and why it's important for Americans to respond. As part of the Liberty Coalition, MoveOn members are invited.

Here are the event details:

When: Monday, January 16, 2006

Time: Noon

Where: DAR Constitution Hall
1776 D St NW Washington, DC

Cost: Free
Because of limited seating, we recommend you reserve your seats as soon as possible. You can bring up to 5 guests. Once you RSVP all you have to do is confirm your email address and you will get a link to print your ticket. Please note that you will have one ticket that will list the names of your guests, not separate tickets for everyone. Please be sure that you and your guests bring a valid driver's license or passport.

This speech is going to take place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a day where we honor a true American hero for justice and peace. Dr. King himself was a victim of secret government surveillance. This is an important time for us to reflect on the civil rights and liberties that are core to our identity as Americans.

We hope you will be able to join us.

Thanks for all you do,

–Eli, Nita, Rosalyn, Matt and the MoveOn.org Political Action Team

:cry:

they finally have the schedule up, however it doesn't have the evening programming listed.

But more than likely have will re-air it later in the evening. Just my guess.

:shrug:

Thanks

however you could always check their website on Monday to confirm whether they will. I would almost bet that they would, they are pretty good about "special events" like this one is sure to be...

I just did a search on Gore and they have several streaming vids available. They have the one he spoke at the MoveOn event back in 2004, so I think you may be in luck.
:D

I hope they do stream it so you get a chance to see it, if not perhaps I could send you a DVD, after I record it.

After all I would hope someone would do the same for me.

But they don't archive everything.

In the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr., Tom Paine, Thomas Jefferson and all the heroes of the American Revolution give King George HELL President Gore!

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

I'll be watching and recording at the same time!!!

who miss the C-Span FIRST RUN!

Fascinating where Al Gore is going these days....he pushes himself into a Right Wing Meeting that "New Republic's Blog" is Forced to report on....and now this!

Good for HIM!

He probably doesn't even know who MLK was.

He doesn't deserve to even utter that great man's NAME.

I will be posting comments when I get back home (should be about 4~5 hours after the speech ends).

Its a long drive from here, but I expect it will be dam well worth it.

comments. Also, I'd love to hear any attendee's reactions. I hope they give him a standing ovation!

we can dream, too

:bounce:

So everybody will know it's on C-Span.

:kick: :bounce:

I am so anticipating this speech!

:kick: :bounce:

Tell it like it is, President Gore.

:kick:

I have a feeling this speech could be a turning point in american democracy,
one that will have its own chapter, chapter 44 onwards...

Are any digital broadcasts of this online?

I'm pretty sure they will stream it. This is going to be a major event, so I believe they will have it online for those people who don't get C-SPAN.

I can't wait to hear it!

Al Gore ....bring it on sweetheart!!!
