[ [link removed] ]America's broadcast networks need to carry the insurrection hearings
live and in prime time.

People For Supporter,

I’m sure you remember where you were as the insurrection of last January
6th unfolded, and a violent and racist mob stormed our U.S. Capitol in an
attempt to overthrow our government. Personally, I was glued to the TV
screen with shock and outrage over what this meant for our country.

On that day, all the major networks covered the deadly riot for hours,
scrapping most of their planned programming. These networks knew that the
public needed, and had a right, to witness the day’s horrific events with
their own eyes.

Now, the House Select Committee on the events of January 6 is planning to
hold a series of high-profile public hearings about its findings; the
first such hearing will be the evening of June 9. We’re urging networks to
once again prioritize our right to be informed – and broadcast these
hearings in full.

So please sign our joint petition with Common Cause: [ [link removed] ]Tell the broadcast
television networks to air the January 6 House investigators’ hearings
live and in prime time. >>

We deserve to hear and see the Committee’s hearings first-hand – because
we have a right to demand accountability and make informed decisions about
what comes next for our country.

Just consider this historical example: when impeachment proceedings
against President Nixon began, the public wasn't convinced. But by the
time he left office, people from all parties were overwhelmingly in
support of his removal.

What changed? A major factor was PBS's decision to broadcast the Watergate
hearings in full – 247 hours total. Millions of viewers tuned in as the
story of the Watergate break-in and the cover-up unfolded before their
eyes, hearing testimony from presidential advisors, the attorney general,
former spies, and more.

A strong democracy needs an informed public. And especially today – when
our political climate is marked by disinformation and distractions that
would be unheard of in the 1970s – the only way to cut through the noise
is with the absolute, unvarnished truth from witnesses testifying under
oath.

So please add your name today: [ [link removed] ]TV networks must put our democracy first
and commit to televising the January 6th House Select Committee’s upcoming
hearings live and in prime time. >>

If you believe, as I do, that we deserve ALL of the facts – and that
everyone who helped incite or plan the deadly attack on our Capitol should
be held accountable, at ALL levels – I hope you’ll speak out today.

Thanks so much for your activism,

Will, People For the American Way
