A bit of good news, it looks like we will be able to upload this through a premium YouTube account... So it won't be 18 ten min film clips, but rather 3 one hour blocks.... Which makes my life a lot easier.

Very cool stuff
 
Thank you , but until we have the footage in hand, I haven't accomplished anything.

I have high hopes however, just need to be patient.
 
yep 4-9 weeks (well, optimistically some places they listed the time as 4-6 weeks)

either way, its going to be a bit of a wait.
 
First Wiki-leaks, and now this.

I try to give the benefit of doubt, but it's starting to look like the government is full of amoral, shiftless, crooked, degenerates.

Even if you don't find what you are looking for, you likely had a few people read this who learned more about the terrible amendment. Thanks for your efforts, and good luck in your search.
 
I just wrote my congressman Greg Walden who is chairman of the House Majority Transition Committee, about this issue and sent him a link to this thread.
Today the house republicans introduced a draft set of rules for the 112th Congress which seeks to enact a "sea of change" in the way the house operates "-with greater openness, deliberation, efficiency and a closer adherence to the U.S. Constitution"

I felt it pertinent to let him know of what happened in the house in 1986, as well as applaud him for his efforts.

Looking forward to those tapes Ajax22!
 
This is awesome, guys. It really is impressive that a group would pull together this quickly. Hopefully something will be done about this before I'm dead. I've got ~60 years to wait, if I live long enough. :D
 
+1 on the DVD copy idea.

I understand that pumping out DVD's requires quite a bit of time and money, so have you considered making some kind of high-quality video file (mpeg-4, etc.) and making it avaliable for download on a website?

I think he plans on putting it up on YouTube, which the video can be downloaded from.
 
Next thing to do is either find someone with enough money to challenge Hughes or find some donators.

There is an outside possibility of something happening on that front, but it won't be related to the footage/procedure of how the amendment was passed but rather the taxation issues covered in U.S. v Dalton and U.S. v Rock Island.

DVD's will be available free of charge through a voulenteer network of duplicators... (I'll get into details a little bit later on, you may have to cover shipping/material costs but that will be up to the individual guys who are running off/shipping the copies, they won't be profiting on them in any way. (the condition of me running off a DVD copy for them was that they had to agree to distribute copies of the DVD to XXX number of people who requested it)... I don't have time to run off personal copies but copies for other people to make copies I'll make availble.

There are also individuals who will be seeding the video on torrents and others who will be hosting the complete raw video for download.

In addition a 2nd amendment non profit organization has offered to pay for a premium vimeo account to host this video the second it becomes available.

So, no worries, when I get it, you'll be able to see it....
 
Huzzah! Great job with this. I for one would not mind taking a 'hit' on the value of my collection if that meant I could get more toys.

On an aside, think of all the cottage industry this would create. All that extra $$$ for the government at $200 per new MG. All those companies supplying parts and new designs. Not to mention all the EXTRA ammo that would be consumed to feed these toys.

What a wonderful way to boost the economy :)

I agree. That's a good way of putting it.
 
This sort of effort along with many other things is what makes me love this forum.
Keep up the amazing work!
