I don't know if this was already posted and if it was I am sorry for the repeat performance. In defense of our rights to indulge in the bacchnalia that is pay cable and satellite TV and radio, including but not limited to, HBO, Skinemax, Sirius and XM. Bernie Sanders R. Vermont proposed H.R. 1440/Stamp Out Censorship Act. On 3/25/05 it went to commitee. If you care as much as I do
about gov't staying the hell out of my television viewing, the farce that is politicians using
moral decency to intrude upon how you live your life, life in a society that approves the insidious creep of government into our bedrooms/living rooms/offices all in the name of moral hygiene, then write to these reps if they are from your state/district and declare your support for the Stamp Out Censorship Act. if not from your area, write YOUR rep and tell them you support H.R. 1440 and why they need to as well to remain relevant to you and your vote.
B/c I cant link sh*t since I suck and can't master the tags to link text, here is some handy info on the subject:
H.R. 1440
To prohibit the Federal Communications Commission from imposing penalties for indecent broadcasts on providers of video over cable television systems, satellite carriers, the Internet, or non-broadcast providers.
