No matter who you vote for, the common people get rolled over. I'll just leave it at that.

I agree completely with this.
Selling off the spectrum to private interests will mean our government will no longer have the vehical to easily communicate to the public over the air. There are still many families not hooked up to satelite or cable. Digital technology is great but if there are no more VHF channels left its not going to travel any kind of distance over UHF. In case of national emergency there will be significant areas not covered by UHF and that means the public at large will not get proper instruction from our federal government.
The VHF spectrum needs to be kept in the public domain IMO.
