And let me for the record say, I support their right to say whatever they want about me and other liberals.'"
"…The FCC has been complaining about (Howard Stern's) locker humor jokes for years...Was he okay when he was supporting the administration?" ----Congressman Jose Serrano (D-NY), speaking out against 'The Decency Enforcement Act of 2004' on the floor of the House of Representatives, March 11, 2004.
The bill, which allows the FCC to fine stations $500,000 per-incident of indecency, passed the House 391 - 22 later that day.
You can still ask your Senators to vote against increasing FCC fines.
Dial 1-800-839-5276 (Capitol Switchboard) and ask to be transferred to one of your Senators.
Then leave a message for the Senator to vote against "The Decency Enforcement Act," bill number S.2056, and against any other bill which increases FCC fines.
