Government Takeover Scheduled for November 9th

Via Glenn Beck (see video of his announcement below), the FCC is hijacking the American airwaves and cable waves for 3.5 minutes on November 9th, 2011.

Here is the announcement on the FCC site:
Emergency Alert System Nationwide Test | FCC.gov:

At the Federal Communications Commission's June 9, 2011 Agenda meeting, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau Chief Jamie Barnett, joined by representatives from FEMA and the National Weather Service, announced that the first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) would take place at 2:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time) on November 9, 2011. The purpose of the test is to assess the reliability and effectiveness of the EAS as a public alert mechanism. EAS Participants currently participate in state-level monthly tests and local-level weekly tests, but no top-down review of the entire system has ever been undertaken. The Commission, along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will use the results of this nationwide test to assess the reliability and effectiveness of the EAS as a public alert mechanism, and will work together with EAS stakeholders to make improvements to the system as appropriate.

Didn't see how long it will be there?  You have to scroll down pretty far to find that:

How long will the test last? 

We anticipate that the test will last approximately3 minutes. While state and local EAS messages are limited to 2 minutes, there is no time limit for national EAS alerts. To evaluate whether the system properly interprets the national message code in the national EAS test, the message duration must be longer than two minutes.

Glenn Beck expresses my outrage much nicer than I do:


The government sucks bad enough without Obama.  Why must he insist on making everything so much worse?
