[Mb-hair] Fw: Screen Actors Guild Member Legislative Alert: Help Fight Individual FCC Fines

[venuetheatre at juno.com]

SCREEN ACTORS GUILD MEMBER LEGISLATIVE ALERT
 
Guild President Alan Rosenberg recently testified in Washington D.C.
before the Senate Commerce Committee and urged lawmakers to oppose
legislation that would increase FCC indecency fines for individual
performers to $500,000. Rosenberg has since returned to Washington D.C.
and met with several key senators to explain the disastrous impact these
fines would have on actors. Now we need your help.
 
·         Take action today to fight onerous FCC fines for individual
creative artists
send your message today.
 
Please email your U.S. Senator, who is part of the Senate Commerce
Committee (see links below) between now and May 17 and urge him/her to
OPPOSE any legislation for FCC performer fines.
 
Here is a Sample Message:
 
Dear Senator

 
I am a constituent, a voter, and an actor. As a proud member of Screen
Actors Guild, I urge you to oppose any legislation calling for fines
against individuals. As an actor, I am hired to perform roles as
instructed by my employers. The notion that we can be subject to a
$500,000 fine for doing our jobs on scripted programs is outrageous.
Please protect me, and every other American, from these outlandish fines.
SAY NO TO INDIVIDUAL FINES!
 
Sincerely,


How to Contact Your Senator:

Committee 2006:
