<br />. <br /> <br />B. Political Campaigning <br />The government access channel will not be used for political campaigning <br />by individuals or organizations seeking public office or legislation. Neither <br />can this channel be used for solicitation of funds for political purposes. <br />This is not to preclude the cablecasting of political debates or candidates' <br />meetings, provided that fairness and equal time rules are followed. Also <br />reports by current elected officials or community organizations regarding <br />the status of issues and other governmental business, providing again, <br />that fairness and equal time rules are followed where applicable. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />C. Religious Material <br />Programming generally considered religious in nature will not be allowed. <br />Program material that would advocate a particular religious belief will also <br />not be allowed to air on the government access channel. Religious <br />organizations or ideals may be mentioned as incidental information as part <br />of a program. This rule certainly should not preclude the appearance of a <br />clergy or individual representing a particular religion as part of a program <br />providing general information. <br /> <br />D. Obscenity and Defamation <br />Every effort will be made to assure that all programs cablecast on the <br />government access channel adheres to the rules of the Minnesota Cable <br />Communications Act and community standards relative to obscenity and <br />defamation. <br /> <br />E. Schedule and Program Priorities <br />The Elk River City Council and staff shall determine priorities for the <br />production and cablecasting of programs in accordance with these <br /> <br />. <br />
