Shortly after midnight on Sunday morning found me in the San Francisco International Airport, where I caught a redeye back to Madison, Wisconsin. There were some wrap-up events planned for Sunday that I missed out on, but it had already been an exhausting and exhilarating experience.

However, after 36 straight hours awake to tell you this story, I can honestly say that the battle to take back the airwaves is no longer a fringe issue. While the "mainstream" might not yet be up to speed, there's a whole lot more voices in our camp now than there were this time last week. This was no Seattle, but it was a start.

Corporate control of the media is a cancer on our society.  If left unchecked, it will choke us off from each other. Some might say the process has already begun.

But people are starting to recognize the price they're paying for hyper-commercial speech, and - more importantly - they're starting to raise their voices in dismay.

Don't stop the shouting now.
