John,
As Americans across the nation witnessed the GOP’s brutal infighting during the recent election for Speaker of the House of Representatives, one crucial press freedom issue became clear: We must grant C-SPAN full-time control of the cameras in the House.
Right now, leadership in the House holds the reins on the cameras that film proceedings on the floor — but C-SPAN brought their own cameras to the House speaker battle. This independent coverage gave viewers and journalists a glimpse of the dealmaking that GOP House leadership would rather keep behind the curtains.
Tell House Leaders: Give C-SPAN full-time control of the cameras in Congress NOW!

Congressional proceedings are a matter of public record. The American people have a right to know what’s happening on the floor of Congress — and C-SPAN has shown they can protect that right when Congress won’t.
Democracy thrives on transparency. Granting C-SPAN control of the cameras will help ensure that coverage of House proceedings is impartial, fair, and factual, promoting transparency and accountability in government.
Let House leadership know that you support granting C-SPAN control of the cameras in the House of Representatives by adding your name now.

Thank you for your support,
