Bi Partisan Legislation, Congress has a good idea!

December 15, 2009

Finally, something we can all agree about...

H.R.6209 - Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act
To require the Federal Communications Commission to prescribe a standard to preclude commercials from being broadcast at louder volumes than the program material they accompany.
Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act - Directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to prescribe a regulation prohibiting advertisements accompanying video programming from:
(1) being excessively noisy or strident;
(2) having modulation levels substantially higher than the accompanying program; and
(3) having an average maximum loudness substantially higher than that of the accompanying program.

This bill is sponsored by a Democrat and it's moving to the full house for a vote this week. Will the Republic Party vote against it because it's a move towards the Obama Communist control over big business?
