Fw: [Peace] Read Bill Moyers' speech. Take action to save PBS.

[Randall Cotton]

The news items and action calls from freepress.net are very important, in my
opinion. Free Press seems to be the most vital, highest-profile media reform
organization in the country at the moment.

However, the peace list was never meant to be an address for mailing lists
to send to, so I've unsubscribed the peace list (or I've tried to anyway -
it may take a few tries to succeed).

Note, however, that I subscribed our "peace-action" list to the Free Press
mailings. peace-action is meant precisely for this kind of mailing list
traffic. To subscribe to peace-action, go to:

Or, perhaps even better, sign up for the Free Press mailing list yourself by
going to:

: Dear Media Reformer:
:
: Yesterday, we asked you to listen to Bill Moyers' historic speech at the
close of the National Conference for Media Reform in St. Louis. Many of you
did. So many, in fact, that our Web server slowed to a crawl. Our apologies
to those of you who couldn't download the speech.
:
: The full transcript is available now at www.freepress.net/news/8120.
:
: Take a few moments to read Bill Moyers' speech and then take action to
save public broadcasting. More than 60,000 Free Press activists have already
joined a call for the resignation of Corporation for Public Broadcasting
Chairman Kenneth Tomlinson and the creation of town hall meetings nationwide
to put the public back into public broadcasting.
:
: Before we deliver their signed petitions to Tomlinson's desk, we need
60,000 more Americans to join the call. If you haven't taken action on this
already, sign the petition at: www.freepress.net/action/pbs
:
: Then ask more people to join the call for Tomlinson's resignation. Forward
this e-mail to all your friends and colleagues and help protect our public
broadcasting from partisan tampering.
:
: With your help, we can turn the tide against corporate and government
efforts to muzzle the quality journalism, independent viewpoints, and
dissenting voices that sustain our democracy.
:
: Act now!

: P.S. To learn more about building a public broadcasting system that
deserves public support, read "A New Standard," the recent report from Free
Press, Common Cause, Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, and
Media Access Project at www.freepress.net/docs/pbs_report.pdf.
