| Message | ADAMANTLY, ADAMANTLY, ADAMANTLY opposed!!! Advertisement and campaign issue ads or whatever is protected form of COMMERCIAL FREE SPEECH of the people of Likatonia!!! We vote no b/c we are the Pro-Freedom Party!!! Besides, if people don't want to get "brainwashed," the simple solution is to either cut the TV off or connect a TiVo system to their television that digitally blocks all commercials. It costs about $16 a month. |

| Message | What about FREEDOM......to watch those funny Geico Cavemen commercials??? Again, we will reiterate that is bill is UNNECESSARY b/c the people can simply buy a TiVo device that BLOCKS commercials for as little as $16 per month: cf. http://www.tivo.com/whatistivo/faqs/mostpopular/index.html |
