Just heard on my cable TV schedule with Christian background vocals
"Blah blah blah ... The political ads are over ... blah blah blah ... That's why I'm so thankful for my involvement in Christian radio ... just the word of God all day, with no confusing facts or figures ... blah blah blah."

This is what feistydem and I are being subjected to, what we and apparently all the other people in Bresnan Communications' service area are expected to pay to have piped into our homes. This is that imaginary mandate at work, and I won't stand for it. If the Christian radio isn't off my TV by the end of the day - and I have no reason to believe it will be, since I've complained by phone AND in writing - I'm writing the local paper AND cancelling my cable.

I can't believe this shit.

1. get DISH
and check to see if there's a discount or something because your switching from cable. They often have those.

3. That message has been received
Get DISH. Gotcha. Agreed. Done. But there's a larger problem here, and it's that these people are getting more and more brazen since they got their "mandate." It won't be long before Christian radio is on everyone's TV.

2. TV is FREE
Why give money to cable companies that support the RNC?

4. No, it's not free

for those of us who live outside of areas where the signals are flying every which way and you can just grab them out of the air. I didn't know that, either, until I moved to the mountains.
