Bill To Protect Children from Broadcast Indecency Held Up in Senate
Action Alert by American Family Association: The Protecting Children from Indecent Programming Act (S.1780) was passed unanimously by the Senate Commerce Committee earlier this year and was intended to affirm the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) authority to fine television and radio stations for airing a single word or image that might be considered indecent. This authority was recently challenged by two judges in New York City and without S.1780 the FCC's "fines-increases" may be nullified.
Not only have networks steadfastly refused to abide by federal laws prohibiting the broadcast of indecent material during times of day when children are likely to be watching television, they are actively working to overturn those laws even now in federal court on the absurd grounds that it should have the "right" to air the "F-word" and "S-word" during prime time. Without S.1780, television programming will become an open sewer for virtually all hours of the day.
The consensus is that S.1780 will pass if it gets to the full Senate for a vote. However, it is currently stalled in committee and will die unless you act today. There are only three weeks remaining in the current years legislative session. Strangely the co-sponsors, Senators Ted Stevens (R-AK) and Daniel Inouye (D-HI), are dragging their feet. Urgent Action Needed: Please call Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI) at 202-224-3934 and Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) at 202-224-3004 and politely ask them to protect children from indecent programming by allowing a full Senate vote on S.1780 before they adjourn for Christmas in a couple of weeks.
