Last Thursday,  FCC Commissioner Michael Copps gave an absolutely amazing speech that will convince you way better than any Blog for Iowa post ever could that citizens need to start focusing on media reform ASAP.  If you all read it and take notes, then send us an e-mail about when you or your group would like to get together with us to start work on bringing the public interest back to the media in Iowa, it would make us very happy. 

As Copps stated, “My challenge to you is to act as though your democracy depends upon it because it does.”  Here it is.
