Ask MPR to drop lawsuit against Al Gore's "Current TV"

[Eric J in MN]

Minnesota Public Radio was planning something called "The Current" when "Current TV" announced its name. MPR filed a lawsuit.

However, as "Current TV" has replied: more than 300 U.S. businesses use the word “current” in their name.

Whether or not you like "Current TV," and whether or not you've ever seen it, they are trying to do something original by creating a TV channel in which a big percentage of the content is produced by ordinary people.

The last thing they need is a lawsuit.

Please ask MPR to drop the lawsuit. If you've ever donated to MPR, mention that you're a donor:
