(What are "political devotions"? Click here.)
From the Parents Television Council:
We urgently need your help. As you know, Congress is considering legislation that would severely punish broadcasters who violate indecency laws. Unfortunately that legislation has stalled in the US Senate. If the Senate doesn't vote on this bill, S. 2056, in the next few days, it will likely die.The alert includes links to talking points, and to contact information for all senators.
We need you to take immediate action to tell your Senators and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist to vote on S. 2056 now! The public is outraged over the Super Bowl halftime show, the F-word on television broadcasts, and the graphic sexual content on morning drive-time radio. If we are to be successful in our efforts to reduce the obscene, indecent, and profane broadcasts from the public airwaves, then the FCC must have the power to impose meaningful fines and/or revoke station licenses of broadcasters who break the law. Don't let the broadcasters sweep our national outrage under the rug.
