This was emailed me from American Family Association:

Dear Jerena,

Your emails to the FCC Commissioners resulted in a "domino-effect" of actions which has culminated in a clear victory for decency on the airwaves.

The FCC has levied a $755,000 fine against Clear Channel Communications for a sexually explicit radio show, the second-highest fine ever proposed!

Help AFA continue its fight for decency on the airwaves by making a generous contribution.

Jerena, AFA online activists like you sent over 1.75 million emails and letters to the FCC commissioners. With that avalanche of response, they could no longer ignore the issue.

Here's how the dominoes fell:

First, we were invited to meet with Commissioner Michael Copps regarding the 'F-word' issue.


Following that meeting, FCC Chairman Michael Powell recommended that their previous ruling be rescinded, and use of the 'F-word' be banned on public airwaves. (A major victory!)


Next, both the House and Senate passed resolutions blasting the FCC over its lax indecency enforcement.


Michigan Congressman Fred Upton then introduced the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act (H.R. 3717) that would increase fines for broadcast indecency tenfold. Calif. Congressman Doug Ose introduced the Clean Airwaves Act (H.R. 3687) spelling out eight words that would lead to sanctions for the stations or networks broadcasting them


Finally, FCC Chairman Powell urged that penalties be increased for indecent programming, and levied the fine against Clear Channel, along with a fine against San Francisco TV station KRON for broadcasting indecent material on its morning news program.
Jerena, all this started because AFA on-line activists such as you cared enough to get involved!
However, this success has not come without cost.
