Subject: Fw: STOP MBTA RADIO PETITION - Take 1 Minute to Help Stop This Insanity
Thanks, folks. See petition link below (at end of short article); it's quick and painless. We've gotta stop this thing in its tracks; it's scheduled to spread to all the MBTA stations around Thanksgiving, but I think the massive public push-back will derail them.

STOP T-RADIO PETITION
Dear Citizens:
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) on October 10th started broadcasting continuous radio advertisements and music at South Station, North Station and Airport Station with a plan to expand the continuous radio broadcast system-wide after Thanksgiving. The radio broadcast will adversely monopolize this historic First Amendment public space: 1. Curtail and Interfere with Conversations of all MBTA patrons 2. Curtail and Interfere with Reading of all MBTA patrons 3. Target ads to all School Children who use the MBTA 4. Curtail and Eliminate Subway Performances
We, the undersigned, support the diversity of expression of patrons and artists in the subway. We petition Governor Deval Patrick and Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Board of Directors to stop the T-Radio broadcast.
