Political Quotes

“I believe that the FCC has done a great service to the American people. I am an unmitigated supporter of the FCC, and I think that the FCC has done an outstanding job in terms of trying to ensure that all Americans have access to the airwaves of this Nation. Regarding the low power FM stations, I just want to ensure that people understand that the American people and the Members of this Congress understand that the LPFM is a new noncommercial community-based radio service that will benefit local communities all across this Nation. It gives media access and broadcast voices to local churches, to schools, colleges, State and local governmental agencies, musicians, and nonprofit community organizations, those same organizations that have been excluded heretofore regarding having access to the air waves. LPFM adds to radio diversity and encourages alternatives to the commercial formats that currently dominate our radio.”
