I got this from DCRTV web site because I don't want to sign into Baltimore Sun to read the news.
Do you remember MD4Bush? We still don't know who was behind it, do we? My bet is O'Malley's camp. Then he was Baltimore mayor, paving his way to be governor. Now he is MD governor. He is going to get rid of his opponents all the way to the White House.
Don't let him get away with it.
Unlikely. He may think of himself as the Don and the darling of downtown, but outside of Maryland machine politics he is a flaccid sock-puppet.
His only skill is in trying to be all things to all people. In other words, he's an empty suit.
"Free Speech" only applies to those Democrat-Party elites now....
If your "Free-Speech" is not pre-approved by the DNC, expect it to be censured...
I'm sure glad all those Republicans stayed home to "Prave A Point", how about you?
Congress Wants to Regulate Bloggers
The U. S. Senate is considering legislation that would impose criminal penalties, even jail time, on grassroots causes and citizens who criticize Congress. Section 220 of S. 1, the lobbying reform bill currently before the Senate, would require anyone who communicates to 500 or more members of the public on policy matters, to register and file quarterly reports to Congress. Those failing to file or who file late would be subject to fines and possible imprisonment.
S. 1, A bill to provide greater transparency in the legislative process, was introduced by Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev). The advertised intent is to restrain undue influence. But just like campaign finance reform, the measure places greater restrictions on freedom of speech.
Reid defended the bill as necessary to ensure fair debate. A lot of people launching blogs or handing out pamphlets dont know what theyre talking about, Reid complained. We need more quality control. Congress has the experience and judgment to sort out fact from fiction and ensure that voters arent misled by these know-nothings.
The proposed new rules would require anyone who conceivably might reach as many as 500 people through any media to regularly report on their activities. Major media would be exempt because they already provide a fair and balanced perspective that represents all proper viewpoints. We want to know who these know-nothings contact and what they are telling them, Reid explained. Those spreading erroneous information will be directed to issue corrections or face penalties. Those refusing to correct their errors or failing to disclose their activities will be sent to prison.
Reid predicted that with the passage of S. 1 scandal, corruption and influence peddling will become unheard of activities. Well see a quieter, less contentious America. Respect for government will be enforced.

Notice something missing from this story?
Grandstanding. As much as we might emphathise with Tyrone, he has no "right" to be on the air and he has no "right" to a program on the University station. He broadcasts at the discretion of whomever is running that station and they can remove him for any reason they desire.
He's going after O'Malley because it makes better headlines instead of going after the real culprit, the station management.
Yes, we do. One of O'Malley's operatives. This guy is corrupt.
Maryland is going down the toilet.
Maryland is going down the toilet.
Fans of radio talk show host Tyrone Powers protest Tuesday in front of Morgan State University in Baltimore. Powers has accused Gov. Martin OMalley of being behind the cancellation of his show on the campus radio station, WEAA-FM.
I loved him in "The Long Gray Line."
