If it is true that Magik 102 gave Brown free ad space to encourage voters to "vote" (not necessarily "vote for me"), then they may have violated FEC by not offering Sanchez equal time (just to make the same statement). Are you saying that when Majic 102 Advocates a candidate it is against the law but when Rush Limbaugh advocates a candidate it is not against the law?

Name Rush's endorsements. Name Rush's airtime given to candidates.
Do you even listen to his program?

The on air personalities at 700KSEV (the city's conservative station) made a clear effort to keep callers from endorsing
any candidate and keeping the encouragement "get out there and vote" to a non-partisan tone (even going so far as to say "I don't care if you vote for Brown or Sanchez, get out there and vote").
Brown did not appear on KSEV although Chris Bell and Orlando Sanchez did. Brown was on another station on the dial (Magik? Hmmm?) and told a caller that he had not appeared on KSEV because he had not been invited which was a falsehood. Even after making that statement, he turned down offers to appear there (up to 3 hours of airtime was offered in "equal time").

But why am I even wasting my time responding to someone who declares their location as "Austin", doesn't listen to the local media (KSEV, KPRC, Magik, KCOH) and doesn't have a player in a local mayoral election.
