There remains a difference of opinion on just how many cards and letters came
into the Federal Communications Commission on the media-ownership proceeding,
with some, including commissioners Jonathan Adelstein and Michael Copps, saying

500,000.

Association.
According to Powell, some 300,000 were in the form of generally duplicative
postcards from the NRA.
