Don't Just Stand There, Do Something!

Be among the first to overturn an FCC ruling.

The 19th is a only a week away. That's the day John McCain has scheduled a vote in the Senate Commerce Committee to report out legislation aimed at unmaking Michael Powell's day.

To take a look at who's on the committee and other helpful contact information, here's a link from the Activism section of Working For Change. Check out their tips on contacting Congress here, and to find specifics on how to contact individual Senators on the committee, use their Congressional Directory here.

Another useful site is Your Congress. Com, which enjoins as to "Learn, Track, Laugh."

And then there's always Juan.

I hope I've left you with no excuses. Call the Washington Office of Senators on the Committee, call your own Senators and Representatives; don't expect a long conversation, they're probably mainly running a count on how much public support there is. If you can't get through, talk to someone in their local office, emphasize you want them to contact the Washington office. Call the Committe staff. Postcards work, especially if sent to the Committe directly. Send emails and faxes too.

And call people you know to do the same.

ACT NOW!

Oh, and be sure to bookmark those links; we've got a lot of work ahead of us.
