I see where this beta site is trying to go, but I think it goes too far. I applaud the attempt, but graphics should be used judiciously to prevent "information overload" by breaking up text with aesthetically pleasing art. In this case, the graphics dominate the front page, leaving very little visual space to convey meaningful content. Because this is a government website upon which people rely to obtain information, we can strike a better balance. The graphics can be smaller and achieve the same effects. The "feature" videos can be placed in a "meet the FCC" space, as Function Over Form has suggested elsewhere. In addition, so much negative space is unnecessary. These changes would leave more space on the front page for the most important textual content. I applaud the attempt to create a more robust back-end search engine, but the search bar should not be relied upon so heavily. There should be more hypertext options on the front page for key content. For example, without using the search bar it took me four clicks from the drop down menu to get to the "file a complaint" page, which offered only a video tutorial on how to file a complaint (and no link to complaint forms). That is too deep for someone using "old school" navigation methods, as many consumers are apt to do. This is not a post by some curmudgeon resistance to change. At the risk of sounding immodest, I am a Gen X attorney who can hand code PHP. I applaud the effort, but I think we can find a better balance.

Dear United States Citizen
Please write about Freedom of Media and Press . We are having very difficult time to get coverage for our political activities .

Last three years The People party of Connecticut has been calling Fox News CT, WFSB , CH 3, Hartford Courent newspaper , CBS, ABC, NBC CT, WTNH, Ch 8 and local Bristol Press to cover Membership Drive events or other political activities no one ever come for coverage. The people party is having membership drive at 37 Center Street Bristol Connecticut. The People Party need help for media coverage.

2. We believe any kind of negative discrimination such as racism, sexism and religious persecution are crimes against humanity. We cannot endorse sole progression of man from animal as it rejects spiritual evolution. We will respect all human kind.




3. We believe in freedom of the press and object to media censorship. We believe we have the responsibility to stay informed and the right to have resources for this available without restrictions.




4. We reject war, terrorism and arms build ups as they are plagues on mankind and the environment.
