the "official content should not be posted on a website or page where it may appear with [info] not in compliance with the House's content guidelines" is tough to avoid

My neighbor Jim Wilbourn sat and watched the live Qik with me; he is one of Culberson's newest followers.
Good Qik...had some techno difficulty following and commenting...looks like another "Joseph" was on here..hope he enhanced my reputation
Actually, a letter can take much longer unless it's hand delivered.
(ironically, a letter would probably work better than an email)
nice meeting you all
i'm going to send a message to my congressmen
I wonder what John Lewis tweets would be like.... :-)
I think we ought to get a list of the Franking Comm & CHA members and pester them to start Twittering
re: broke. which is a good reason to have a secure .house server
I think we broke qik
well, i hope he and other officials use direct video feeds and twitter posts. great way to communicate with them
i havent been watching, just got to my desk. what did i miss?
agreed @shelbinator and @bleh
is the feed dead?
plus it was factually incorrect
Yep. It was too heated and it was a knee jerk. Hopefully we've learned from it.
I'm with Brad. I applaud Culberson for pushing the edge, but I think he's phrasing it rather heatedly
Seriously.
It's "bleh."
Blah, quite Blahhing!
MarineAg - seriously? Please stop spouting cliches.
i hate when the video dies

When will this segment air on FOX??
put in my number
hi chad
Why does the 1st Amendment not apply to Members of Congress when on Capitol grounds?
I tried to sign up...
Chad, how do YOU think this changes the relatinoship between the "typical" Washington beat reporter, the audience, and the politician?
Houston
why restrict!!!
what (if any) restrictions do you think would be appropriate?
if it vanishes too fast, press 1 to see it again
HA i thought the same thing about chad
Do you have an N95?
chad looks so uncomfortable
We love Fox News.
I have not used the tech myself yet.
while suggesting they find a way to avoid having ads for viagra or britney bloopers pop up on .gov sites
This is all archived for future use as well.
Chad... what do you think about qik?
remind us again who chad is?
Thanks from Minnesota
he didn't understand any of this
MarineAg: definitely
its sad to see how reps in gov try to limit our access our information
Scoundrels shun video.
what (if any) restrictions do you think would be appropriate?
the capuano memo is seeking to open that up to youtube embeds
mmealling, antiquated CHA rules already prohibit Reps from using any external commercial site on their .gov pages
I can't beleive this
@Michael Absolutely!
We're also simulcasting this on uStream
Question: what's wrong with the public seeing so-called public record as it happens?
why are you guilty?
Shelbinator, my question is why does CHA feel it needs to approve anything.
Is it not innocent until proven guilty?
you are allowing people access to information that is pertinent to our lives
Question: Has anyone on CHA specifically stated they are opposed to Twitter?
Where can we make a donation to Congresmen who twitter?
why should all new tech be black listed
Does congress on trust its own representatives?
1 and 3 is scroll
1 and 3 = scroll
hit 1 and 3
I agree Dan, a different type of media
give it to me unfiltered.... and behind the scenes
technologies shouldn't automatically be blacklisted for our representatives to use
true batterista trying to give example to reporter.
aww our first moc a/s/l
I have yet to see anyone provide evidence that, once made aware of Qik/Twitter, they won't consider allowing it as well
Houston area
dc
lv,nv
Qik Live, Youtube not. both serve different purposes
I am in MPLS
where is everybody on chat at right now?
the Capuano memo is trying to ADD the ability of Reps to use YouTube
kind of like youtube but better
they do
You don't distingush
making a goodpoint
more communitation between them and us is always a good thing
why limit what citizens should see?
Change the rules!
instant access Johns a rockstar now
this is revolutionary
John understand we the people for the people by the people
thanks y'all!
the man holding the mic.
that guy in the tie
Why should we limit our represenatives to communicate with us?
yeah
Who's doing the interview?
they are taping for fox...
transparent information is what the people want.
interactive politics
nice....
We support live qik and twitter from congress!
YAH!!!!
Where can we donate to the Culberson campaign?
Hi the broadcasts
WOW a preinterview he is gonna be ALL OVER THE NET
Pearland, near Houston
what is your view on the privacy issue surrounding john culbersons ability to broadcast anytime anywhere?
Why should members of congress be limited in any way they can communicate with the public directly?
Congressman, could you repeat who you're talking to? thanks! (watching from Warrenton, VA)
Yea, this is amazing technology. Great Stuff.
very nice Congressman
Looks good, john
