thank you from inner city Buffalo, we want our water safe too, a state-wide ban makes the most sense!

This action got the crowd involved. "Friendly" Civil Disobedience definitely has a place in modern activism. Otherwise we are there just listening to the politico/corporate party line.

Note: All of the "first to speak" politicos basically said the SAME THINGS. This action was certainly the only NON-boring event that occurred in the first 45 minutes ...

BEAUTIFUL! Now the world knows how the people feel.

The gas flunkies do everything they can to have opposition stifled. They stack the deck so heavy in their favor, and then they complain when the other side would like to speak, that sometimes "disobedience" is the only remaining outlet, as clearly was the case here.

They want to "own " the discussion (secret meetings with Cheney, anyone?). It is almost immoral NOT to speak out, especially to eschew "obedience." We're not the Vichy (well, maybe some are). Too bad some prefer to be sheep.

great action, need more things that aren't just conforming to the govt corporate puppet show, amp it up

so funny that the trustafarian who insisted on disrupting skyler's testimony (and that of others who spoke at the beginning of the evening), would prefer to disrupt rather than offer cogent testimony of his own. is it a "victory" for anyone to interrupt, then get up and leave? no points there.

Have you notist... The ones that make the desissions (poltikans) live as far away from the drills as posible. they dont drink the water that we have to

[justbeinghumantv]

hmmm. I think the content is good. But I'm not sure how productive the action is .. spectacle, disruptive a little unproductive. I guess it serves. I like what he says about politicians listening to people first. any other good video from night?
