CBS's "Without a Trace" has reached new lows of depravity by featuring scenes of a teen group sex during prime time - AGAIN!

In November, Viacom, which owns CBS, settled with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on all of their pending broadcast indecency complaints for 3.5 million dollars. The FCC complaints that were filed on the previous airing of this episode of "Without a Trace" on 11/06/03 were wiped away with this settlement.

They decided to rerun the same episode which received over 7,500 FCC complaints from PTC members alone over the holidays!

If you live in the Central or Mountain time zone we need your help to flood the FCC with thousands of complaints about this outrageous episode.  If CBS continues to get away with this vile programming content, it will set a new and unspeakably low standard for all of prime time broadcast TV. 

Last year, the PTC and its members hit the FCC with over 230,000 official complaints.  Because of your involvement, the FCC is finally starting to take a hard look at its record of inaction on indecency enforcement.  But we need to keep the pressure on the FCC to make sure they start punishing broadcasters for airing this smut.  More importantly, we need to send a loud and clear signal to CBS and its affiliates that we will not tolerate their efforts to push TV standards into the gutter and to poison young minds with such irresponsible messages.

2. MOST IMPORTANT -- forward this email to friends, relatives and colleagues in your email address book who live in the Central/Mountain time zones. Send it to everyone you know who shares your outrage about the foul language, deranged violence and pandering sexual content that seem to have taken over so much of the TV that young people are watching these days. Hopefully, many of them will forward this email also, and your protest will be multiplied many, many times over!
