I would suggest some ground work to find out who makes these decisions,
(are they made locally) and to whom the petition should be addresses.
Also, spaced reminders would keep the issue on their mind. I would be
willing to give a phone call to the office and make a personal request.
I would be nice to get a call in there every week until something is
done.

Subject: Petition for Worldlinktv: "Television without borders"
Would there be interest in starting a petition to get Charter
Communications to add Worldlinktv.org/ to their channel line-up for this
area? For those of you who are familiar w/Worldlinktv, it is a true
burst of progressive fresh air at a time when the airwaves are suffused
& polluted by right wing nuts & their propaganda. Worldllink's motto,
"Television without borders," should tell you a lot about what to
expect. Plus, the best part about worldlinktv is just how comprehensive
their programming is: Comprehensive coverage of world news to
documentaries to world music to world culture & world history. For
those of you for whom this is foreign, (pun fully intended.......!) feel
free to peruse information about the channel at: worldlinktv.org.
If there is enough interest, I'll gladly start a petition & circulate
it. Obviously, the # signatures we can garner up is directly
proportional to the petition's likelihood of success. So, we may have
to get family, friends & colleagues to endorse the petition. Perhaps we
can strengthen the case for offering worldlinktv by getting some
departments on campus, such as the Colleges of Arts & Sciences, to
endorse the petition?
Thanks & your thoughts are most welcome
Good day,
