Benton Foundation writes today,
HOUSE SCHEDULES COPE VOTE

"House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) has released the agenda for this week and it includes time for consideration of HR 5252, the Communications Opportunity, Promotion, and Enhancement Act of 2006 [COPE], sponsored by House Commerce Committee Chairman Joe Barton (T-TX). The bill's main aim is to pave the way for the creation of national video franchises. In April the Commerce Committee approved the bill 42 to 12. "

HR.5252 COPE Vote on June 8th?

"The current rumor is the House will vote on the COPE bill (HR.5252) next Thursday, June 8. If you haven't written and called Congress – this would be a good time. Everything you need is here."
