President Obama repeatedly promised the American people that he planned to televise the health care reform negotiations on CSPAN. But the reality is that most of the most important negotiations that have taken place to date and are currently taking place in reconciling the House and Senate versions of the bills are occurring behind closed doors.

Earlier this week, C-SPAN's CEO Brian Lamb sent a letter to Henry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell  requesting that all “important negotiations” in reconciling the differences between the House and be opened up to C-SPAN’s cameras.  But C-SPAN's request has thus far fallen on deaf ears.

TAKE ACTION: Send a message to President Obama and Congress demanding that the President keep his promise to the American people to televise all important negotiations related to the health reform bill.

Founder's Quote of the Week

"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that 'all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.' To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, not longer susceptible of any definition." --Thomas Jefferson, Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank, 1791
