Facebook pages and blog posts don't get stuff done. That takes money, tact, and clout. The organizations who do have those qualities aren't touching the Hughes amendment for now, and for good reason.
And that is exactly my view as well. Could be wrong, and if anyone has any solid evidence to the contrary, I'll listen. But it will need to be good, well supported and knowledgeable. And I still think it's got to be a low priority in any case. There are still many much more important issues that we need to be spending our time, effort and money on.
