The Democratics have been talking about "doing something" to silence broadcastors like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and the Internet Christian Conservatives in the form of FCC regulation using the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE. It is a censorship of free speech, and a violation of our First Amendment Rights. Rep Mike Pence is putting forth this legislation to continue to protect us for another year from use of the Fairness Dontrine, and has agreement of 300 in congress; but only 190 have signed petition. Pres Bush has agreed to sign. We must motivate those others promised to protect our right as conservatives to speak out for our faith, our conservative views and protection of internet podcasters and blogs.

Please post this again tomorrow and again the next day. It is late on the East Coast so to be seen that would be best.

If the Fairness Doctrine is imposed, broadcasts should be monitored, and anytime anyone on radio or TV speaks against ANYTHING—slavery, the Holocaust, the war in Iraq, tax cuts, miscegenation laws, wife-beating, etc., a lawsuit should be filed if the opposing view is not given equal time—and not a 4 AM.

If the Fairness Doctrine is truly fully implemented during the next Congress and during the next Presidential term, then it will eventually kill off both the Republican Party and U.S. Conservatism. Also, eventually allowing illegal immigrants the legal right to vote in all future U.S. elections will help to speed up the deaths of both the R’s and U.S. conservatism as well as help to create long-term socialism throughout the U.S. This is OT, but McCain would help increase his chances with some voters on November 4 if he seriously picked Mike Pence as his final VP choice. Me, I see too many things in common on too many issues between both Obama and “assiduous conservative back stabber” McCain along with seeing McCain truly doing much more long-term damage to the Republican Party compared to the Democrats that I will have a protest vote for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party instead on November 4. Duncan Hunter was my choice for POTUS, and I’m truly not a fan of the idea of write-ins for POTUS/V.P.

Doesn’t McCain favor “The Fairness Doctrine”?
