SaveAccess.org: Tell the House to Stop the FCC! (2/12/07)
Following an action that generated "80,000 letters to the Senate Commerce Committee telling them to Stop the FCC" ruling on video franchising, media activists now ask you to write a House Subcommittee ahead of their annual review of the not-so-regulatory body.That FCC ruling went far deeper than the failed Congressional legislation of last year in attacking Public, Educational and Governmental Access channels and facilities. It also threatens local municipalities ability to exercise control over their [cable] "rights of way."... Worst of all, the FCC hearing on the matter was rife with inaccuracies and half-truths that even the phone companies backed away from.... The organizations representing cities, along with the Alliance for Community Media, have promised a lawsuit—but we need for members of the House to hear from the people and respond accordingly.
Tell your Congressional representatives that "intervention can stop this mess now."
