Groups like the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights are critical to answering these questions. I urge all civil rights and public interest advocates to engage us in the debate on communications policy. Washington needs and America deserves your input. In preparing these remarks, I kept thinking about my grandfather, the late U.S. Senator Dennis Chavez of New Mexico. He taught me one of the most important tasks of a public servant is to give a voice to the voiceless.
Voices are the first substance of civil rights.
Voices that challenge stock answers, inappropriate stereotypes and voices that call for better solutions and better answers to questions. To paraphrase the Reverend Jesse Jackson, voices that protest do lead to progress. The FCC can t do it without you. We need your voices.
