Here's my letter...
Subject: Restricting NOAA is Wrong.
Preventing NOAA from releasing its weather
information product to the public is morally
wrong, especially so, considering the Taxpayers
are the ones footing the bill.
Weather report "repackagers" such as Accuweather
and The Weather Channel, should not be allowed to
build a virtual monoply based on TAXPAYER OWNED
data.
Thank you for your consideration,
Charles Morford, Taxpayer.
