Activism: Act Now to Save Community TV From the Save Access campaign -- "Did you know there is legislation in Congress that will drastically reduce Public Access television funding and strip local government of its ability to control its public right-of-ways. They are considering legislation that lets Telephone Companies and Cable Companies decide who gets preferential treatment, or gets to "ride in the fast lane" based on who has the deepest pockets. Help me demand more from Congress concerning this legislation by visiting http://saveacess.org/takeaction. Thanks so much for spending your valuable time on this important advocacy work."
