Without this tool, they run the risk of missing crucial updates on things such as weather patterns, market shifts, local news, and emergency information. This isn't a dying medium; it's a vibrant network that connects diverse communities across our nation. As members of Congress, it is our duty to protect this resource at all costs. This resolution is a vital first step in doing just that.”
