National Black Chamber of Commerce urges legislators to support consumer choice

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- This week Representative Jeff Lewis introduced HB 227, the "Consumer Choice for Television Act" in the Georgia House of Representatives.

The following statement issued in response can be attributed to Harry C. Alford, President of the National Black Chamber of Commerce:

"This bill certainly will be for the benefit of the citizens of Georgia. Availability, quality and affordability are the key words here. Wherever such legislation has been passed, the consumers and businesses have greatly enjoyed the results."
