Lamb To Pelosi: "LET C-SPAN IN!"

After the jump is Brian Lamb’s letter to Speaker-Designate Pelosi which was delivered today, requesting that C-SPAN cameras be allowed to cover the House floor proceedings (right now House/Senate coverage is controlled by Congressional cameras). As the letter states, “Rules and established practices prevent congressional cameras from taking individual reaction shots or from panning the chamber, leaving viewers with an incomplete picture of what’s happening in the House of Representatives. The requests are made in the hopes of allowing a viewer of C-SPAN’s gavel-to-gavel coverage the same access to information as any citizen who’s watching the debate while sitting in the House gallery.”
