Free Speech is better than FCC indecency fines

If the FCC gets the power to fine stations $500,000 per-incident-of-supposed-indecency, these unelected bureacrats will be more powerful than an artist with millions of fans.

Say No.

The House already passed the "Decency Enforcement Act of 2004" for huge fines, but the Senate hasn't.

Please call your Senators and tell them to vote against increasing FCC fines at:
1-800-839-5276 ("please transfer me to the office of Senator ___")

and/or

Write your Senators with this form:

2. Good. I think that some Republican Senators are on the fence.
Good. I think that some Republican Senators are on the fence. Let's keep it that way so this awful "indecency" bill never passes.
