I called David Drier's office this morning (ranking Republican on the Rules Committee) to ask what we can do to support this. They said to call our own congressmen and ask them to a) support it and b) ask their colleagues on the Rules Committee to do so as well.
It would be great, but I give it a snowball’s chance in hell of passing.
Where are the locally owned and authored newspapers?
Where are the locally owned and programmed tv channels (outside of what they purport to be news programming)?
Screw the Left. They want to get their dirty mitts on the only media they don’t dominate.
Just called and alerted my congresscritter.
Congressman Greg Walden and Congressman Mike Pence filed the Broadcaster Freedom Amendment last night to the Financial Services Appropriations Bill that would kill any funding for the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" as well as stealth Fairness Doctrine in the form of proposed broadcast localism regulations.
“Walden” What an unfortunate name for a Republican.

I just called and gave my Representative’s office an earful. In typical fashion his office refused to give his position over the phone. His policy is to give his position on an issue in writing only. I told the aide such obfuscation couldn’t be more disingenuous. I demanded he vote for the Amendment but I’m no holding my breath.
I didn’t see this in time. Did they vote on it, or still pending?
Mike Pence is my leading choice for next U.S. President.
Walden’s my congresscritter! I moved to a good enough place.....
