Unfortunately, as a simple webcaster, the level of these discussions are way above my head. The amount of "down to earth" explanation to us little guys is poor at best. We are expected to run with the pack on something that many of us do not understand.
Here we are, the bad guys say that they are negotiating in good faith. The good guys are saying - they are not. Yet, we are told to contact our representatives. Ok, we contact our representatives, and say what? We get a barren shapless letter from our Representative telling us that everything is ok. Yet we do not have a bit of detail or information explaining to US why we are NOT ok. This whole thing is very poorly handled. I do not have the time, or the resources to search the web and find all the blogs covering this thing. There are so many people, with so many opinions. For someone that is not normally a political person, just out here playing radio, I do not understand the current status, what the arguments are, what the latest proposals are, and why EXACTLY, are we NOT OK? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Voice23 (CMI)" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 6:04 PM Subject: Re: [General-discussion] Representative Response >I understand your argument and agree.
