US Senate & House Create YouTube Channels

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can't-wait-for-them-to-do-something-that-matters dept.

eldavojohn writes "Following an election in which online videos played an important role, the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate have opened YouTube channels (or 'hubs') advertised to be a 'backstage pass to your government.' Ideally this will bring transparency to citizens and inform them of their senators' & representatives' positions and ideas."

    Which is unfortunate but true. Most people do not care about their government.

    Even more unfortunate is that I cannot download these videos, at least not without violating the TOS, and so I cannot store my own copies of those proceedings.
