Here is an opportunity for Electronic Democracy!! Adbusters is a well-known Vancouver Magazine which sponsors, amongst many other projects, "Buy-Nothing Day" Colin Stark *********** Adbusters Petition titled: "THE TWO-MINUTE MEDIA REVOLUTION", addressed to the FCC and the CRTC.: Dear Chairpersons William Kennard (FCC) and Francoise Bertrand (CRTC) We the people want access! It is our unwavering conviction that the public interest will best be served if the television licences you grant contain the two-minute media provision. We want broadcasters to set aside two minutes of airtime every hour for citizen-produced advocacy messages in exchange for a renewed lease on the public airwaves. We, the undersigned, put it to you, regulators of our airways, to set up a system of direct public access, or to let us know why you are unable to do so in a free and democratic society.
