Subject: A Great Event for CSpan to cover at George Washington University April 5, 2006!

This should be a lively and spirited discussion. Helen Thomas has been recently been awarded an avalanche of Roses from the Democratic Underground for her fearless pursual of the answers to tough questions. Democratic Underground has about 80,000 registered members who for example would find this type of programming interesting. Many of us can not get to Washington DC and the Main Stream Media has gone so far away from simply reporting the truth as it is set out there, we really appreciate CSpan more and more. If you could also make it available for purchase on DVD format that would be even better. If you notify me of it being available, I will notify DU.

Thanks.
