WHY DOES JACK DEMPSEY GET PAID OUT OF P/E/G MONIES WHILE THE WRECKED 'LEADERSHIP' OF MIKE MCGLYNN LEFT THE CITIZENS WITHOUT ACCESS TV, EVEN THOUGH THEY PAY FOR IT?
3 SALARIES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL WITH P/E/G MONIES WHILE THERE IS NO PUBLIC ACCESS DURING A CRITICAL ELECTION CYCLE WITH AN EXTREMELY VULNERABLE MAYOR TOO COWARDLY TO LET THE PUBLIC HAVE ITS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT
The federal law prevents PEG (Public, education and
government TV channels) revenues from being used for operating expenses.
Public Access, being the only PEG that does not have its own budget,
therefore is left high and dry without operating money.
Time Warner customers file class-action suit against cable provider
Time Warner customers in Wisconsin filed a class-action suit against
the cable provider on Thursday, Aug. 8, for dropping WTMJ-TV from the
cable lineup, reports the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal
Sentinel.
WTMJ-TV is based in Milwaukee, Wis., and owned by the Journal
Broadcast Group. The channel is also an NBC affiliate (though NBC
declined to comment, since the station is not owned by NBCUniversal).
Time Warner Cable removed WTMJ-TV from their programming offerings on
July 25. The cable provider dropped the channel from the lineup due to a
contract dispute, reports the Journal Sentinel.

Step 6c: Study the Court Decisions
Missouri Knights of the Ku Klux Klan v. Kansas City, Mo., 723 F.Supp. 1347 (W.D. Mo. 1989)
- Denver Area Educ. Telecomms. Consortium, Inc. v. FCC, 518 U.S. 727 (1996)
- McClellan v. Cablevision of Connecticut, et al., 949 F.Supp. 97 (D.Conn. 1997)
Step 6d: Seek all possible administrative Remedies
- Discuss your complaint to your cable provider. Cite the law/code you think they are in violation of.
-
- Petition the franchising authority (your city/town council, mayor, county legislature, etc.) for declaritory or other relief.
-
- Petition the branch of your state government which regulates cable companies
-
- If you find a violation of the law by the cable company, contact your state attorney general
Step 6e: File a lawsuit
After you exhaust all administrative remedies, you may want to
file a lawsuit, but you must study the law first! You can't sue unless
you have discovered a legal right, and have suffered an injury. Study 42
USC 1983 and 1985 lawsuits as a possible remedy, also rights under
First and 14th amendments. Also check for rights under your state
constitution.

Public Access TV vs California AB 2987 Emerging Class Action Lawsuit
http://www.sueeasy.com/class_action_detail.php?case_id=357
The State of California is causing the shutdown of Public Access
television in the state by the passage and signing by the governor in
2006 of AB 2987, Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of
2006. The part of the bill that legalizes this shutdown is part 5870,
section n. It reads, "A local en
tity may, by ordinance, establish a fee
to support PEG channel facilities consistent with federal law..." I, Ed
Wode, have been told by local officials in Long Beach, Ca that the
phrase "...consistent with federal law..." was put in the bill by
lobbyists for the phone companies over the objections of same Long Beach
officials and Long Beach's own lobbyist with the purpose of torpedoing
Public Access TV.
The federal law prevents PEG (Public, education and
government TV channels) revenues from being used for operating expenses.
Public Access, being the only PEG that does not have its own budget,
therefore is left high and dry without operating money.
