Message | Article 3 works for us. We believe that there should be government subsidized radio and television stations. However we also believe that private media are also necessary to provide a view of the world other than that of the current party in control of the government. Understand that right now the Manche Movement would control all media if your bill passed.:) |

Message | We doubt the Manche Movement would control all media... Univision would still operate as it is, just ownership would change from a corporation to the Union. |
