If you look at the history of broadcasting, what you find is the National Association of Broadcasters is a trade association whose mission is to protect the interests of the commercial broadcasters.

Broadcasting is really too important to be left to the broadcasters.
The association promotes a way of life, not causes; a harmony in living, not political faiths; a bilateral loyalty, not commercial or social projects. Yet it is an association for as noble a purpose as any involved in any prior decisions.

The commercial broadcasters have tremendous influence in Washington, D.C., for a couple of reasons. First, they're extremely rich and they have lots of money and they have had for a long time, so they can give money to politicians, which gets their attention.

The other part of our proposal that gets the 'dittoheads' upset is our suggestion that the commercial radio station owners either play by the rules or pay. In other words, if they don't want to be subject to local criticism of how they are meeting their license obligations, they should pay to support public broadcasters who will operate on behalf of the local community.

Lonesome
Well I'm here, but I don't wanta stay
Cause you're not around
And I'm feeling lonely
Same old episode for me, heading for catastrophy
And I can see that its
Association with the past
So think about it
It's like a tie that did not last
Don't move so fast
Don't run
Cause you might find out, find out I'm the one
And I still feel lonesome
Nothing's changed, it just gets rearranged when
You come around, so now what's your story
You were never there for me
So I'm going out to see
Cause I can see that it's...
Association with the past
So think about it
It's like a tie that did not last
Don't move so fast
Don't run
Cause you might find out, find out I'm the one
And I still feel lonesome
Now you're here, but I don't wanta stay
Cause you weren't around, now you say you're sorry
And nothing's changed, it's just been rearranged
So stay down, just stay down

What until then seemed impossible to achieve has become a fact of life. We have won the right to association in trade unions independent from the authorities, founded and shaped by the working people themselves.

Very Disconcerting
Please,
Don't interpret my dislike for his policies...
As being a statement against him,
Personally.
I think everyone in this neighborhood will say,
He is a good and honest person.
However...
Because he prefers to see weeds,
Growing in his backyard to be noticeable...
Throughout the neigborhood,
Brings the value of our properties down.
'But...
He has challenged all of you in court,
To accuse all of you of discrimination.
What do you have to say about that.'
That is very disconcerting.
'Why? '
Not one of us have allergies to flowers.
Or the smell of cut grass.
'What do you think about his running,
To hold public office...
To represent your interests? '
That again is a conflict of interests.
On one hand he says he wishes to represent us.
And on the other hand,
Our interest is to protect what we value.
'Which is? '
The declining values of our properties...
Which he has directly caused.
'But 'why' do you think he is doing this? '
We all believe he has chosen to take this route,
Because the tenant association has agreed...
To increase the gardener's salary,
We all pay as a maintenance fee...
To keep our front and backyards up to standards.
As is documented in our home ownership policies.
'His actions make little sense.'
You know it. I know it. We all know it.
But those who are not familiar with our situation,
Will probably earn him their sympathy votes.
And he will eventually win.
With the twisting of rules to have the law on his side.
'This is crazy! '
You know it. I know it. We all know it.
But when has the spreading of propaganda,
Had anything to do with actual fact?
