TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 2008     

While watching TV, listening to the radio ... your child, your grandchild, should be safe. 
 
That youngster should not suddenly be bombarded with obscene words - words that you or I would never say out loud. 
 
But it's been happening - and I want you to know:  the ACLJ is taking aggressive steps at the Supreme Court of the United States to stop it. 
 
Stand with us today with your generous online gift as we file an amicus brief arguing for the broadcast airwaves to be governable - for the protection of America's children.
 
Reckless media programmers say they ''can't control'' what some people say on their stations. 
 
So if your child hears profanity, too bad. 
 
If your grandchild sees a flash of nudity (as in the notorious Super Bowl incident), ''so be it.'' 
 
But we say no.  And we are asking the Supreme Court to say no! 
 
We already have our legal teams hard at work on our amicus brief - to argue for the protection of your children and grandchildren.  They should not be exposed to damaging language and images.  The FCC should have the power to hold programmers accountable. 
 
But I ask today for your generous online support, because this will not be an easy Supreme Court battle to win.  
 
The major media entities have millions of dollars at their disposal, and I can tell you already by looking at the docket that they are lining up some of the most powerful, high-priced lawyers in America. 
 
Even though the principle we're fighting for is simple and straightforward, it's going to take a major effort on our part - research, writing, complex legal strategy - to mount an effective case. 
 
So we need your help.  And with only a short window of time before our brief is due, we need your help immediately. 
 
I encourage you right now to give your online tax-deductible contribution in support of this Supreme Court effort and all of our ongoing work across the country.  
 
For the sake of protecting America's children, and for the dignity of our entire nation, I hope we'll have your strong support in preparing for this Supreme Court case as a dedicated member of the ACLJ. 
 
Thank you.
