The FCC should seriously consider revisiting its rules.  Many communities are 
now unserved because their local station is now a move-in.

If anyone at the FCC reads this list, note that the Preamble to the 
Constitution begins "We the people...."

Government should represent the people - - not corporations. 

Broadcasting should serve the people.
