Petition To Stop The Fairness Doctrine
MRC Action ^

Posted on 06/26/2008 5:30:41 AM PDT by Man50D

Help Declare Radio Independence Day!

The Media Research Center is leading the effort to expose and defeat these efforts. The Broadcaster Freedom Act (H.R. 2905) -- a bill in Congress that would ban permanently the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.” -- is stalled in Congress. We want to rally 100,000 signers by July 4th so we can press every member of Congress to go on record on this vital First Amendment issue.

NOTE: The “Broadcaster Freedom Act” is currently stuck in committee. Sign this petition urging Congress to bring this bill to a vote by July 4th! -- "Radio Independence Day"

I was thinking that the other day. Make each state have a Republican and a Marxist Senator.

Sorry to bust yer bubble...

Pelosi has said no way on this bill in 2008.

Link. Excerpt:

The speaker of the House made it clear to me and more than forty of my colleagues yesterday that a bill by Rep. Mike Pence (R.-Ind.) to outlaw the “Fairness Doctrine” (which a liberal administration could use to silence Rush Limbaugh, other radio talk show hosts and much of the new alternative media) would not see the light of day in Congress during ’08. In ruling out a vote on Pence’s proposed Broadcaster's Freedom Act, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-CA.) also signaled her strong support for revival of the “Fairness Doctrine” -- which would require radio station owners to provide equal time to radio commentary when it is requested.
Follow the link and read what this Marxist has to say. Unbelievable!

It will be done as a Regulatory decision by the new head of the FCC. It will never see the light of day in congress.

Done, and if the Fascist who is running for president wins we’ll be lucky if we aren’t rounded up for the gulags and our skins made into lampshades.

Elections have consequences. Witness the Supremes today. The good guys won but it might not always be so. If the Pelosi thugs get their way we won’t have any rights and they will reform our nation into a communist paradise in keeping with their San Francisco values.

LIBERAL LEFTIES SOCIALISTS MARXISTS all want to shut down those who rebel -—>?>>

It’s not enough for liberal pukes to dominate newspapers, TV and TV news, education, universities etc

They can stand the talk radio dominance by conservatives. Liberals fail at talk radio. No one wants to hear their crap on the airwaves

Liberals fail financially at talk radio so the Democrats want to force equal access to it and ruin it
