Call Your Senators Today and Demand
FCC Commissioners Who Will Take a Stand Against Indecency!
Under the leadership of
Chairman Kevin Martin, the
Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) took an
unprecedented stand for
families by vigorously
enforcing existing broadcast
decency laws.
Three seats on the
five-member commission are
soon to be filled: The
President's pick for
Chairman, Julius Genachowski
-- about whom we know very
little, especially regarding
his intent to enforce
decency standards -- will
almost certainly be
confirmed by the Senate
before the August recess.
Senate Republicans will
decide who will fill the
remaining two seats.
Before that decision
is made, your senators need
to hear from you! They need
to know that you, as owners
of the broadcast airwaves,
are demanding FCC
Commissioners who will take
a stand against indecency,
and will vigorously enforce
decency standards on the
broadcast airwaves.
We urgently need you to do
two things.
-
Call your
U.S. Senators, as well as Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and tell
them any nominee for the FCC must have
an unwavering commitment to upholding
and enforcing the broadcast decency law.
-
Forward this
message to everyone in your address
book.

We've already made
tremendous strides this year
with two recent Supreme
Court victories supporting
FCC Indecency enforcement!
But those victories, as
important as they were, are
tenuous, and so much will
depend on the new leadership
of the FCC. We can't afford
to backslide now! There is
far too much at stake.
We must dig in and ensure
the FCC continues to act in
the interest of the American
people by holding
broadcasters accountable for
how they use the public
airwaves.
Please take a moment today
to make these quick, but
very important phone calls.
Go to http://capwiz.com/parentstv/callalert/index.tt?alertid=13453486&type=ML
now to
take action. And please,
forward this message to
everyone you know who cares
about protecting children
from indecent content. |
