2. I'm there, dude

Just tell me when the signatures come in!!

[Cats Against Frist]

3. Uh -- could someone tell me why television stations are airing this?

Doesn't this have something to do with the public airwaves? Did they pay for it -- like advertising?

[Roland99]

5. It's being broadcast on "Skyangel"...a subscription channel

[Cats Against Frist]

7. KFXB Cedar Rapids -- in my area

Unless I'm reading something wrong.

[Roland99]

10. I'm guessing that's like a PAX or TBN station?

8. What the hell is SKYANGLE?

Angels as satellites?

[hootinholler]

15. I like your freudian mis-spelling: sky angle

Gave me a chuckle.

9. I'm in.

So now that these 'churches' are participating in politics, They lose their tax exempt status... right?

[seabeyond]

11. Northern Beacon Church of the Nazarene

i just have one church in my area. which surprises me, think i willl try other zips. be back. i expected more

on edit, just one in my town

[AlCzervik]

12. So really this is all about getting people to pay $11.99

thats really what it all boils down to.

[derby378]

13. Nah - you can watch it for free on some local channels

But SkyAngel certainly won't mind if you want to sign up...

[AlCzervik]

14. no churches in my area will broadcast it and i think

the $11.99 still is a big reason for them doing this.

[grumpy old fart]

17. nah, but I'll bet there's a good deal of "backdoor" money to be had....

have a small "collection" during the hatefest perhaps?

[rocktivity]

16. You can watch the webcast for tree, unless I've gotten something wrong
