Let Jim Webb deliver the State of Union Address response live from the Congressional floor

I have come to depend on Brad Friedman's mailings on everything having to do with Diebold's voting machines. So it is with great curiosity that I read a missive that contained this:

I am calling on Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to keep next week's joint session of Congress open after Bush's speech to allow Jim Webb, who has smartly been selected to deliver the Democratic Response, to deliver it live to the full Congressional chamber instead of via the usual, limp, in-studio response with no audience, which few even bother to actually watch.

Go read his article at Congressional Dems - You're a Co-Equal Branch, the State of the Union Address is the Perfect Opportunity to Point That.

Oh my ... Jim Webb live on the floor of Congress giving a retort to George Bush. Can you picture that one?

Oh my.

email address confirmation

that address is as posted on pelosi's website,
however it's possible that the server has been inundated by active, engaged citizenry (has liza given that talk yet?)

there is also a webform option, at

http://www.house.gov/pelosi/contact/contact.html

usually such things have auto-reply enabled, so one can tell that an email has successfully been sent.
