Empty TV Channels

What if I told you we could use empty TV channels to connect millions of Americans to the Internet?

New technology would do just that. But the powerful TV broadcast lobby is standing in the way with a multimillion-dollar misinformation campaign.

The Federal Communications Commission is about to make a critical choice: support a better Internet for everyone or side with the broadcasters and let the United State slide further behind the rest of the world in Web access.

Tell the FCC: Open the Internet for Everyone

This fight for universal Internet access is now being waged over "white spaces" -- empty frequencies between television channels on the public airwaves. New devices can use these vacant airwaves to connect millions to the information superhighway, including many people still stuck on dial-up -- or without any service at all.

Here's the problem. The National Association of Broadcasters wants to horde these publicly owned white spaces. They have been blitzing Washington with television ads and lobbyists. They're telling outright lies and spreading misinformation to prevent any new devices from being deployed.

Their scare tactics are aimed at convincing the FCC and Congress to stifle new technologies that can revolutionize our airwaves. Unless we act now, the FCC could side with the broadcasters and deny us one of our last opportunities to deliver a better Internet to more people.

Take Action: Open White Spaces for Everyone

It's a familiar story. Big media companies will use any means to squash new ideas that threaten their control. For too long, our policymakers put the narrow interests of a few conglomerates before innovation, competition and the public good.

Last year we sent 1.5 million letters to Congress and halted the phone and cable industry efforts to kill Net Neutrality. This year, we're fighting to make the Internet available and affordable to everyone. Opening up white spaces is key to creating the healthy competition, consumer choices and technological innovation we need to provide an open Internet to all.

We can win this fight. Take action to open white spaces today.

VOTE DOWN the Protect America Act

As you may remember, before Congress left for the August recess, it caved into the overreaching demands by the Administration and passed the so-called Protect America Act. This legislation weakened the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and failed to adequately protect the rights of Americans at home and abroad - giving the government free reign to eavesdrop on law-abiding Americans, all without meaningful oversight.

We all understand that we must aggressively seek out suspected terrorists, and we can do that without sacrificing our rights and freedoms.

In the coming days, Congress will have the opportunity to fix this problem. We must amend this legislation to provide meaningful judicial and congressional oversight for this program. I need your help today to make sure that Congress doesn’t give in to the scare tactics of the Bush administration. Please take a moment and write your Representative and urge them to protect our rights.

Write Your Representative: Protect Our Rights!

When you email a friend living abroad or call your son or daughter studying in a foreign country, you should be able to do so while enjoying the same rights and freedoms you would if the call was to a neighbor down the street. In the aftermath of the warrantless wiretapping scandal, it is unthinkable that this President would advocate for a surveillance program devoid of meaningful judicial oversight.

Let me emphasize that these reckless changes were made with the support of both Democrats and Republicans in Congress. The decision to give this President these powers, given his history of complete disregard for the rights of law-abiding Americans, was irresponsible. Congress must not be intimidated into giving this President, or any President, overly broad discretion when it comes to the surveillance of Americans.

Write Your Representative: Protect Our Rights!

Congress can and must produce a bill that provides the tools needed to pursue suspected terrorists aggressively, while also protecting the rights and freedoms of law-abiding Americans.

Thank you for your immediate help in addressing this alarming situation.

Sincerely,

Russ Feingold
United States Senator
Honorary Chair, Progressive Patriots Fund
