"More than 2 million households are in danger of seeing their major broadcast TV channels disappear into a fuzz of static when analog service ends Friday, according to surveys."

In related news, state governors unprepared for major rioting with most National Guard units stationed overseas defending our freedoms and our democracy.

"We know some viewers will wait until the very last minute, or even after June 12, until they take action," said Paul Karpowicz, second vice chair of the television board of the NAB."

Yes Americans must "Take Action!" We await the "action takers" to hit the streets. Obama's calls for national service mustn't ring on deaf ears.

"Requests for $40 converter box coupons from the government have spiked this week, according the to the Department of Commerce. On Monday alone, it received requests for 179,000 coupons, nearly twice the daily rate it saw a month ago. However, those coupons won't get to viewers by Friday. It takes nine business days. Without the government discount, converter boxes generally cost between $40 and $60."

We have another Katrina on our hands as an indifferent government's slow response to a crises threatens us all.

"Nielsen said minority households are less likely to be prepared, as are households consisting of people under age 35."

Our racist government once again refuses to act! Remember Katrina! "Never Again!" It's time for Americans to demand more of our Government!

UPDATE:
