So maybe that's a bit dramatic, but truthfully House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today had the lights turned off, C-Span disconnected, and microphones turned off so that Republicans couldn't speak on Drilling for Oil. Early reports, mostly on twitter today, came out that Rep. Mike Pence from Indiana rallied the Republican members to speak anyway.
At 3:00 EST I believe there are still members speaking in the dark without microphones and a call has gone out for a bullhorn!
House Democrats turn out the lights on debate.

Someone must have a video camera or cell phone.
Or are those banned by the communists also.
Actually I think cameras are barred, unless one has a media pass. Some reports were that capital police were escorting media out so they couldn't cover the event
