[font="verdana, arial, helvetica"]Dear Elvin,
[font="verdana, arial, helvetica"] In January, 2005, we asked you to join us in filing formal complaints against CBS and their affiliate stations for broadcasting Without A Trace, complete with an extended teen-age orgy scene. Within days, 165,997 AFA on-line supporters had filed formal complaints with the FCC.

This week, the FCC announced it agrees with you and is fining 111 CBS stations $32,500 each for broadcasting this indecency. This major accomplishment happened because you took action! This is the largest fine ever against the networks and their stations.

In addition, the FCC reaffirmed a $550,000 fine against CBS for Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" at the 2004 Super Bowl.

I want to thank you for taking time to get involved. This proves we can make a difference when we join together!

The FCC will be bombarded with complaints by Hollywood, the media, and liberals such as the ACLU. They must get letters of thanks from those who appreciate their enforcement of the indecency laws! We must let them hear from us!

Please take time to thank the FCC for their actions by sending them a letter of support.

Guys, I was just wondering if any of you had recieved anything like this in your mail. I'm really glad that folk are taking action aginst these broadcasters for basically airing porn . . .but now . . .I have no recollection of having ever filed a formal complaint. Does anyone know what is going on with this? I agree that we should fight these things but it seems like someone is "padding the mail" in this case. Does the end justify the means?

Yes I did and should have passed it on , but did'nt!

Yes Mac, I do received the AFA e-mails and I do often respond to their efforts. I don't recall doing so in this particular one, but my wife may have since she uses my e-mail address and sees them too.
