*URGENT* Additional, easy, cut-and-paste campaign to save talk radio (30 seconds of your time)

Posted on 09/12/2003 11:21:13 AM PDT by jmstein7

HELP SAVE TALK RADIO! TAKE ACTION NOW!

It will help to write letters to the editors of various national and regional publications. Below is an extensive list of media contacts that can be pasted and used in an email. Here is a sample letter (edited from the site), but you are encouraged to write your own:

___________________________________________________________

I understand that the Senate will soon vote on whether to reverse the decision of President Bush's Federal Communications Commission to update obsolete, anti-free market rules regarding media ownership. Any efforts to re-regulate mass media must be opposed, as they would stifle our decision to listen or watch news sources that share our individual beliefs.

The old media ownership rules were written when only three commercial television networks existed. However, the explosion of talk radio (from 75 stations in 1980 to over 1300 today!) and the prevalence of cable television channels and Internet sites have rendered these restrictions obsolete. There are now limitless sources of diverse information available to all consumers no matter what their political leanings. Easing restrictions will only further benefit the situation by making it possible for additional sources of news to remain viable especially in smaller markets.

Businesses who chose to broadcast should only be limited by consumer demand and satisfaction. It should be free markets and consumers - and not government bureaucrats - that determine what voices are heard.

I urge Congress to support President Bush's FCC and vote against any efforts to reverse its ruling on media ownership!

It might be a good idea to also send faxes or call the offices of your reps -- this is one fight we can't afford to lose!

Don't forget to email your friends and relatives and have them send emails as well (and also tell them to pass the message on to THEIR friends and relatives)

I'm no fan of the FCC, but just how is talk radio in any danger? It seems to be have done very well for itself over the past 10 years and I don't see anything gunning for it but incompetent liberals who can't cut it in the existing industry.

"Not id you live in Brooklyn."

Are you implying that your reps are as useless as ours are in Missouri? No surprise there, I guess. :^)
