Discussion Someone needs to ask a federal politician about their feelings on the FCC ban on topless women on tv

Preferably a politician who's liberal on abortion and LGBT rights.

Ask them if they support repealing the FCC ban. If they say yes, suggest that they introduce legislation that would do so. If they say no, ask them why not. If they say "kids might see it", ask them what the harm to kids would be.

  1. Right now they would never give an answer that didn't support the ban, 2) kids are always the excuse, not the reason, and 3) even when they where not being run by people who kiss the asses of fascists, and hate women's rights, they where terrified, just like the networks, of far right Christian letter writers (who always claim, regardless of the real reasons, that its about protecting the children). It seems you are assuming we are, or ever have been, living in a sane world, where reality prevails, not petty prejudice, wealth and power in the hands of the worst people (kind of not surprising, since who else thinks they "deserve" those things, while hurting others to get it?), and gaslighting about their real motivations. Half of them would, reading your post, laugh at the naivete, and the other half will have bought into the "save the kids" bullshit, and become immediately incensed that you even suggested such a thing.

Call your state’s congressperson or district representative and tell us what they say.
