SBC Promotes Texas Anti-Wireless Bill
rhythmx writes "Details of this bill have been previously covered on Slashdot. SBC has since put up TV ads and a website saying that our telecom laws need to be changed. From their propaganda, "The Texas legislature has the opportunity to modernize telecom regulation and promote innovation to finally reach our goals for new technologies and enhanced consumer benefits." They hardy even mention the bill itself, basically only that it is "Good for Texas -- Good for Texans." This bill has already passed through the House and is now in the Texas state Senate."

Unknown host pong.
Ads released state the Social Security is doing just fine and we shouldn't listen to the haters and we need to save the filibuster as it is part of the American way. I suspect ads regarding those evil activist judges will soon follow. Everything in this damn country is political and needs a focus group-tuned ad to state its position. You can't even take a piss in this country without a lobbying group and 1000s of pages of legislation to cover the societal impact and federal role in voiding yourself.
Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And this legislation don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down.
They get what they vote for.
