I read quite a bit of it, but gave up when I found it both boring and tedious.
Martin's major crime is being a Republican. Expect that in the next few months, that will be considered criminal and prosecutable, as a concerted effort will be made to personally destroy every appointee they can. Yes, it's "off topic" and sadly, the next appointee will very much not be amenable to our needs. The operative words will be "Control" and "Money". As in, regulatory control and raising money :( And that's not partisan, it's just a predicable federal reaction to wanting money. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <insert witty tagline here> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scottie Arnett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <wireless@wispa.org> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 7:13 PM Subject: [WISPA] OT: FCC investigation. > > For immediate release: Tuesday, December 9, 2008 Contact: Jodi > Seth/Dingell, 202-225-5735 // Nick Choate/Stupak, 202-225-4735 > > > > > > Committee Releases Staff Report on Findings of FCC Investigation > > > Washington, DC - Reps.
