FCC complaint form

#1 Postby j » Tue Feb 17, 2004 2:24 pm

If you don't want to read this whole thing, at least scroll to the very end, and select the link, for a nice quick and easy way to bombard the FCC with a formal complaint about the disgusting Super Bowl Halftime show.

Dear Americans,

I'm sure you saw the Janet Jackson incident at the Super Bowl.

Parents Television Council sure did, and they're outraged.
They emailed me because they're lobbying the FCC to fine CBS
for what happened. I've included it below for you.

Thanks for your support.

For America,




Bruce Eberle

Subject: Super Bowl halftime outrage demands PUNISHMENT
Importance: High

The parents and grandparents of America must not allow the
OUTRAGE committed during the Super Bowl halftime show to go
UNPUNISHED.

It has now been documented that OVER 13 MILLION CHILDREN
were watching when singer Janet Jackson's bare breast was
exposed during the Super Bowl halftime extravaganza last
Sunday evening on the CBS TV network.

AND we now know that the exposure was DELIBERATE! That's
become clear in the "apologies" that several of the
perpetrators are now offering -- AFTER the outrage has
already been committed, of course.

The Parents Television Council (PTC) -- America's leading
advocacy organization protecting children against explicit
sex, violence and foul language on television -- has called
upon concerned adults to file formal Indecency Complaints
against the Super Bowl halftime outrage with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).

The FCC has the power to levy a hefty fine on every CBS
affiliate station that broadcast the filthy halftime show.

We need your immediate help to flood the FCC with thousands
of Indecency Complaints.

Because national outrage over this disgraceful incident is
sweeping the country, the FCC may have no choice but to act.

And that would make CBS's broadcast of nudity during the
Super Bowl halftime show the historic turning point -- "the
straw that broke the camel's back" -- in the long fight
against filth on TV.

That's why it is absolutely critical that -- f you have not
already filed an Indecency Complaint with the FCC to express
your fury -- please do two things right away:

1. Forward this e-mail message to every adult in your
e-mail address book who shares your family values.
[CAUTION: Do not send to children. Youngsters have already
been OVERexposed to this TV filth!]

Together, in big numbers, we CAN make a difference! As a
direct result of the Parents Television Council's 850,000+
members' campaign to force the FCC to get serious about
enforcing the federal law against broadcast TV indecency,
hundreds of thousands of Indecency Complaints have been
filed with the FCC in the last two years. If you forward
this message to 5 or 10 others, and they in turn forward it
to 5 or 10 more, we could easily generate over 100,000
Indecency Complaints within the next few days.

2. Then click here where you can complete
a simple form that will automatically generate a formal
Indecency Complaint to the FCC in your name.

If you and many of those to whom you forward this message
take this simple action to file Indecency Complaints with
the FCC, the Commission will be so flooded with complaints
that it will be forced to act -- FINALLY! -- against the
growing tide of filth on TV.

Your participation in this nationwide call to action could
help turn the tide. If the FCC levies serious fines for the
deliberate broadcast of nudity that occurred during the
Super Bowl halftime show, you will be helping to begin the
RESTORATION OF FAMILY-FRIENDLY TV FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES!

We're sick and tired of being EMBARRASSED by filth and foul
language almost every time we sit down to watch TV with our
children or grandchildren.

So we're pulling out all the stops in protesting the Super
Bowl halftime nudity outrage.

** A copy of your Indecency Complaint will be sent to your
lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Committees in the Senate and
House are already considering Congressional hearings to
investigate TV indecency. By letting your Senators and
Representative know that you're demanding that something be
done -- FAST! -- to stop the flood of televised indecency
coming into your living room every night, you can help
guarantee that TV indecency hearings will rise to the top of
the Congressional agenda.

** And a copy of your Indecency Complaint will also be
sent to your local CBS TV station. You and I both know, of
course, that your local station did not choose to broadcast
Janet Jackson's nudity. The blame for that goes to the CBS
network. But the FCC's punishment powers extend only to the
broadcast stations. The FCC, under current law, cannot
punish the CBS network -- only the roughly 200 stations
around the country that carry CBS's programming. But if
every one of those stations is required to pay the maximum
FCC fine of $27,500, the total cost to the CBS "family" of
stations will be over $5 million! That would trigger an
UPRISING of the affiliates against the network -- and that's
what we want! We want the "Hollywood insiders" who dominate
TV programming to get the message that the "real America"
will no longer tolerate the FILTH they so enjoy inflicting
on us and our children.

Please help STOP and ROLL BACK the growing tide of filth on
TV!

*** Forward this e-mail message to at least 5 to 10 friends,
family and colleagues in your e-mail address book so they
can join the PTC's campaign to clean up TV.

*** And go here and complete the simple form
that will tell the FCC, your representatives in Congress,
and your local CBS station that you're DEMANDING SERIOUS
PUNISHMENT for the Super Bowl halftime nudity outrage.

Please act now.

Gratefully,

Tim Winter, Executive Director, Parents Television Council

P.S. Forward this e-mail NOW to everybody in your e-mail
address book who should be part of this campaign to protect
our children and grandchildren. And then
click here to put the FCC, the Congress and CBS on notice that
you want an END TO TV FILTH NOW!

this may get the network's attention, but it makes no sense to try and punish the local affiliates, when they had nothing to do with it. It
is like punishing a group of kids because their parents went out and did something that we didn't approve of.
