Dear Friends of Decency,
Many thanks to all those of you who attended our recent Family
Gathering. As you know, we expressed our deep concern about the lack of
quality family programming on our local cable system, (blank) Cable.
I contacted (blank) Cable recently but was unable to get any positive
response. Despite the plethora of Pay Per View programming on (blank)
Cable, they claim they have �no extra capacity� for C-SPAN 3. This
despite the fact that they recently added Fox News to their channel lineup.
Fox, as you know, is the manufacturer of such uplifting family fare as
Beverly Hills 90210.
You would be amazed at the lack of family programming on (blank)
Cable. Recently I added up all the R-rated movies shown in JUST ONE
MONTH on (blank) Cable. Disgusting material, such as (insert movies, etc.
here).
There are many types of religion in our country. Some people
worship Buddha, others Mohammed, others Jesus Christ. Yet (blank) Cable
apparently worships the God of Smut! Like you, I am deeply concerned
about the effect television has on our children. Certainly there is not
much quality programming to begin with, and (blank) Cable can�t air what
doesn�t exist. But C-SPAN 3 DOES exist! (blank) Cable simply refuses to
carry it.
Perhaps with concerted community action we can convince (blank)
Cable to carry C-SPAN 3. But I�m not counting on it. (blank) Cable has, so
far, shown a preference for catering to the tastes of the depraved.
Perhaps they hope our children will be corrupted by their programming.
Then they�ll have even more perverts to sell their (50) channels of �Pay
Per Phew� programming to.
Let us not forget our motto, �Joined in Concern, for our Community.�
I look forward to seeing you at our next meeting.
Sincerely,
(John Q. Publius)
