Advocacy Campaign: When you go to the airport do you find it stressful? After going through security you arrive at the gate, only to find that the flight is delayed. You finally find a seat and what do you find? You find CNN overhead, telling you all the things you don't want to hear before getting on a plane, and providing information your children should not be exposed to. PLEASE go to our Programs section above and click on Screens A-Z (or click here) for sample letters asking airports and CNN parent company, Time Warner, to be a bit more understanding. Let us know when you send your letters so we can help let our legislators know.
