A FEW "Indecent" Sites

To illustrate just how far Congress may have gone in taking the power of choice away from the family and the public, this is a small sample of the sites that may fall victim to the Telecommunications Act. The list ranges from Renaissance art to discussion of safe sex. It includes federally funded resources and lyrics to songs played on radio stations across the United States.

Take a look at these sites. If you feel that Congress has gone too far in abridging not only the First Amendment, but the United Nations' Declaration of Human Rights, then ACT NOW. Let YOUR representatives know how you feel. If we are silent now, we very well may be silenced forever.
