Congressman James McGovern: save the voice of the people!

PUBLIC ACTION NEEDED!
EMAIL/CALL CONGRESS TO STOP FCC!
(FCC DN MB 05-311)
The Alliance for Community Media has set up a site to make it easy for you, your friends, relatives and supporters to write your Congressional delegation. Congress needs to know that the FCC is on the verge of taking Congressional power as they rewrite cable law. It is important for Congress to know that their constituents are active in community media and that you are ready to fight.

The rules of this process are written against your interests. You are not allowed to call or write the FCC right now, but your Congress-members can.

Being written out of the law by the FCC:

· Support for Public, Education and Government Access Channels: GONE!
· Channel capacity for Public, Education and Government Access Channels from new providers. GONE!
· Your city's right to reasonable payment by the telephone and cable companies who make billions of dollars using public land. GONE!
· Your city's public safety and educational communication systems. GONE!
The rules will be rewritten Wednesday. Only your Congress-members can stop the FCC now. Tell them to support your community. Tell them to forward your concerns to the FCC NOW!

Please circulate this call to action far and wide.
