Dear Federal Communications Commission Committee,
I respect your position in life; being on the Federal Communications Commission is a very powerful position. The press is the vehicle to an informed electorate and a healthy democracy. You beg to ask the question if we want our media in the hands of fewer not more minds. To place the power of the media into many minds is a healthy democracy to place this power into a few minds is a healthy authoritarian government. You hold the power to make this decision.
You are asking the people of this region if they want a democracy or a dictator form of government. You have a lot of gall coming to Seattle to make your case for more concentration of power, and your absurd excuse is FOX News gives money to charity and the people can have news on the radio while the men folk watch a football game. Well you can see the passion in Seattle against your proposal and lame excuses for monopolies in our sacred press. Seattle has listened to your proposal and we aren’t buying it.
I admire your courage to come to Seattle to hold a public hearing on the consolidation of media ownership, because your mission comes with great risk as you ask Seattle for permission for an authoritarian government. Remember what happened last month to Rumsfeld. The people of France accused him of war crimes and as they were about to serve him a warrant he had to sneak out of the country. Is this what you want for yourselves; to be a Rumsfeld of your own country? Beware, the people will warrant your criminal behavior of consolidating power in the media.
It amazes me that you would even dare come before the people and ask their opinion on this absurd and atrocious proposal; to ask the people if they want a democracy or an authoritarian government. Voltaire said, “those that can make you believe in absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Gentlemen, Seattle is not believing your absurdities and will not participate in your atrocities.
