Whereas Catholic Radio serves the needs of Catholics and people of faith throughout the country; and, Whereas Catholic Radio is the only reliable source of news and information that deals with matters of importance to Catholics and other believers; and, Whereas in order to be effective Catholic Radio programming must be faithful to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church; and, Whereas the establishment of local Advisory Boards could act as censors and forbid Catholic Radio stations to air programs that do not conform to the agenda of Board members, Therefore I Petition you to reject the proposals put forward in the Report on Broadcast Localism and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ... especially the idea of establishing local Advisory Boards.

The petition has reached 100 signatures. I am now preparing a formal summary of these concerns to submit directly to the FCC commissioners.

If these boards get power they will ruin everything. Why cant they just leave well enough alone and stop trying to fix stuff that isnt broken?

Total overreach by the FCC. We dont need local committees deciding what we can hear or what the station can air. Let it be.

Keep the church out of govt control. Advisory boards are just a way to shut down anything they dont like. Leave our radio alone.

This is ridiculous. We need honest radio and these boards will just turn into censorship groups. FCC needs to stay away from this.

Faith based radio is crucial to our community. DONT allow these boards to happen.
