What does it mean?

[Avatar4321]

We own the ******* airwaves you fool.

They belong to the people and are merely lent to the corps.

Jesus you dont even know the laws

If you own the airwaves, then I suggest you use your airwaves for advertising and stop trying to force things on others.

Oh, and cable/sattelite/internet aren't airwaves.

so do you think when we allow drilling and such on public land we cant tell the drillers how they will compensate us?

 

[Truthmatters]

why do you people knee jerk fight anything that gives the American people power?

Please. when have we allowed any drilling whatsoever in the past 3 decades?

 

[Avatar4321]

Politicians/bureaucrats aren't and never will be the American people.

 

[Truthmatters]

You dont get to deside whos an American

and what prey tell does that have to do with the question asked?

Nope, not at all. The government does tell them what to pay in royalties.

And, the FCC tells the broadcasters how much they have to pay for a broadcast license.

Don't forget to add that expense in when you are building your dream network.

 

[WatertheTree]

You can't mandate that a candidate be given free airtime.

You see, airtime cost money for a reason. It's because people work their asses off putting shows on television, selling advertising for shows, etc. You can't force people to work for politicians free of charge. Slavery is unconstitutional.

Not to mention forcing people to freely advertise for candidates they don't like goes against their first amendment rights.

So I take it you are in the silence speech column?

Wrong! Take this latest FRAUD put upon the people of this country. Unlimited anonomus donations by corporate power!

Strip these non living entities of the rights of human beings!

Then you would be OK with stopping unlimited donations from unions and community groups, right?

Absolutely. No money from Churches either. If your not breathing, eating, and shitting you have no business influencing our government AT ******* ALL.

 

[Truthmatters]

That is compensation you fool.

we draw up a contract and part of that contract is you have to give free airtime to the candidates.

The American people own the airwaves and are allowed to negociate the terms of agreement.


Why do you fight allowing the American people to have power over their own assets?

 

[Avatar4321]

Once again, cable, internet, and sattelite are not public airwaves.

How do you intend to silence them?

Because you can't force a private corporation to give away anything for free. That is not the way our government was set up.

Following your "logic", we wouldn't need Obamacare at all. The government could tell all doctors and hospitals to care for people for free, or they don't get the business licenses they pay for.

Taking your "logic" one step farther, the military would never have to buy another plane, because they could simply tell the airline manufacturers that they have to provide them for free, or not get a license to build passenger planes.

And I'll even go one farther. How do you think it would go over if the government told grocery stores that they had to give away free food to the poor in order to get a license? Do you really think they would go for that?

 

[Truthmatters]

Yes we can force them to use our airwaves any way we want to tell them.

They belong to us and if they want to use them they will have to follow our rules huh?

 

[Truthmatters]

a business license does not involve using the peoples property does it?

 

[Avatar4321]

CABLE, SATTELITE, and INTERNT ARE NOT AIRWAVES.

 

[Truthmatters]

It is really weird how you people ALWAYS default in stripping the poeple of any possible powers they have.

 

[Si modo]

the airwaves are owned by the people , yes we can

TM seems to want a state-run media.

Comrade TM.

So you think forcing people to work for politicians is empowering people, while giving bureaucrats/politicians power to FORCE people to labor on their behalf is empowering the people?

How on earth do you not see how utterly backwards your thinking is on this?

 

[Rat in the Hat]

Yes, it does.
Airwaves: No license, no broadcasting.
Aircraft: No license, no flight testing.
Medicine: No license, no treating patients.
Food services: No license, no sales of food grown in US soil.

Hey, doesn't Obama's pal Hugo Chavez have a state-run media??
