NHMC Asked FCC for Inquiry into Hate Speech on Radio and TV -

http://www.latinosagainsthatespeech.org/get_involved.html

As a person concerned about the increase in hate speech in media, we ask that you join NHMC's efforts by taking action. Write to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), your federal elected officials, the networks and the advertisers that are supporting these programs and let them know that hate speech is not free speech and it needs to stop.

Go to the link, enter your zip code on the top right hand corner of the screen, and click on the red GO button. The results will list your Federal and State Representatives. Since hate speech in media is a federal issue we suggest you write to your Federal Senator(s) and Congressional Representative listed on the left side of the results.

The American public should put media networks, media stations, and advertisers on notice that the production, sponsorship, and support of programming that promotes hate speech is unacceptable and will be dealt with by utilizing consumer measures that include product boycotts.
