have all broadcasted live in public and challenged the FCC to shut them
down in the light of day, in front of the press and the Feds have never
dared to show their face- this time, we're going to take it right to their
doorstep and tell them that if they're so sure that their dumb law is worth
enforcing, then the Chairman should come down from the 8th floor and put
the cuffs on us himself. There will also be workshops to help new folks
start stations, appointments will be made to lobby congress people, and
press events will be held to show the true, diverse face of the microbroadcasting
movement.
