Who: One of five FCC Board Commissioners

What: Voted for the deregulation of the media in June 2003.

Detail: The FCC vote was 3 for 2 against. Martin was a cronie in the Bush-Cheney 2000 campaign. He served on the transition team and was Deputy general counsel for the Bush Campaign. He is a member of the Florida Bar Association. As keynote speaker at SUPERCOMM 2003 he cited Verizon as a success story of the recent FCC deregulation. Stephen Burk, CEO of Verizon, gave $100,000 to the Bush Campaign in 2004. I’m sure Martin is up to some Whoring to get Burk payback on his money.
