Fight Back

Maybe I am old fashion or a nut but I believe in freedom of choice. I object very much to lawmakers telling me it is ok for me to buy porno, (not that I want to) anywhere in the country from a satellite. However, I have to live under a strict guidelines to buy the networks. If I don't meet these guidelines I am SOL no matter if I have any means to get them or not. Who cares the network affiliate can still use my name and address to sell advertisement to the local market. Everyone is going after dish. They are not the problem. It is the law that is. No I am not a dish lover I really hate them. As far as I am concern Charlie can take his lies and money grubbing someplace where it is very hot and never snows. The real problem is the law. We need two go to war to get rid of the law and restore the right of choice. We can't fight the networks they are way to big. The best way to attack the networks is through their affiliates. Think about it. One reason this law has so much teeth who, just who knows about it except the people who want or need the satellites to receive the networks. Think back to the c band days and primetime 24. Who but us knew about it. That is how they got away with this. The networks are not going to cover the story of Dish and the courts. They do not want this to see the light of day. They don't want the country to know how they bought off congress to control our viewing and pad the pockets of their affiliates. Now the war. My one and only affiliate is NBC. The GM would not give me a wavier ,he wanted his control and he did not care that my picture was more snow than anything else. He just wanted my name to sell. That my friend is how we fight them. We go after the affiliate's advertisers. No not the big ones like Honda, Proctor and Gamble, ect. We go after the local people who advertise with the affiliate. Especially the business who advertise during the news which is the big money. An NOT with guns of course. We boycott them . We picket them. We let them know we are going to bother them until they stop advertising with the affiliate. My affiliate is in a small town and I am reasonably sure this tactic will work. The reason they are advertising is they want more business not less. I don't know about the bigger markets. That may be the way to go is attack the affiliates that are in small towns. Who knows if we can get lucky maybe the newspapers will start to pick up the story. We can educate the country of how our right of choice is taken off of us by the networks. With the political climate the way it is now, maybe congress will see the error of their ways and give us our right of choice back. Or of course we can sit back a cry and whine and take what ever scraps the networks will give us, and complain it is everyone's fault but ours'.
