Oh nothing, just advertising coming soon to public TV and radio--as long as it's for
candidates and issues.

>>Norman Ornstein, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, said the decision could "fundamentally change the character of public television and radio" by allowing deep-pocketed political and other organizations to begin "swooping" onto the public airwaves to air their messages...."I have seen announcements that to my mind are ads," he wrote. "I have viewed Charles Schwab's message, 'Talk to Chuck' - it is not about Chuck's golf game."
 
Friends Of groups are non-profit, and as Scott Fybush recently enlightened me in a nearby thread, the dreaded Call To Action is not restricted on enhanced underwritting statements for such, so might we be hearing ditties as, "Vote for Pat Paulsen, he's DEAD Serious About America".
