Protect Al Franken on radio. Call your Senators not to increase FCC fines
Edited on Tue Mar-23-04 08:28 PM by Eric J in MN
The House voted to increase FCC fines to $500,000. If this passes the Senate, not only will Howard Stern be fined outrageous amounts, but Al Franken or Janeane Garafalo might, too.

Al Franken is planning to do an X-rated version of Strom Thurmond speaking from the grave as a bit on his radio show. The FCC may find that bit "indecent."

You can call your Senators for free at:
1-800-839-5276

sample phone words:
Hello, can I speak to the office of Senator ___.

Hello, can I speak with someone about the FCC?

Please give a message to Senator _____ to vote against increasing FCC fines. Increasing FCC fines would hurt freedom of speech.
