20 US Reps support the Broadcast Flag, including Brentwood's
by Decius at 11:01 pm EDT, Oct 10, 2005 |
20 members of the House sent an open letter to Congressman Fred Upton, Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet (part of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce), and its ranking member, Edward J. Markey. All 20 pledged their allegiance to the Broadcast Flag.
Marsha Blackburn from good ole Brentwood, TN is on this list. If you still live in her district drop her a note and explain to her that her local constituency understands technology, is aware of issues like this, and wants their computers to do what they tell them to do and not what the media industry wants them to do. There are few places in the US where so many of the local voters would be likely to be aware of this and unhappy with it. |

A good number of her more powerful constituents also work in the media industry, which also thinks it understands technology, and are the ones behind this thing in the first place. |

Hey, I'd rather my point not be valid in this case. |
