Free speech must be defended vigorously or we will surrender entirely to propaganda.
The Internet will come under regulations/control of content ... even if government figures out ways to charge for its use. It is coming. When is the question?
We will be left with the ham radio operators, short wave radio , etc. and Cell phone communication. Underground sources.
Free speech AND the financial survival of radio, other than Public Radio, are at stake here.
If the government can essentially determine which broadcast entities may survive and which may not through manipulating the access to financial support, we are well down the road to totalitarianism.
Book mark for future reference
Does everyone remember the Plugz Biden quote on the MSM/BM that Lord Barry will do something that many people will not like, but stick with us?!?!
BOHICA!!!

Mr. President-Elect has already commissioned a hatter to fashion a stovepipe with the bill of rights.
I agree. This is very bad news. ‘Pod.
Yikes, this Alinsky Jujitsu thing is more scarey than the Fairness Doctrine. I’ll need to finish reading the article later, thanks for posting it.
“The Senate needs to draw a line in the sand: free speech, not localism “
Who will lead this charge? Kennedy?
Bring it on Rats , Oh I mean King ...
“localism”??? sounds similar to the rule on defining what is pornographic.
Why don’t they just label someone independent, republican, democrat or whatever they claim to be so the people who are too silly to know the difference will know like someone suggested on this board a few weeks ago and get over it and move on. Any limitations on freedom of speech are bad. Freedom of speech and to address our grievances with the government is what makes us American makes us stable unlike other countries. This proposal sounds so Rwanda like with their radio stations in the genocide.
Depending on how he gets the FCC to (re)define "serving the local community's interests", he just might succeed.
Take away the first amendment,,, we can always go to the 2nd one,,, yeahhh,,,for real.

This is a very important post. Going to the source to find those links is too much for some folks. It may have been bettter if you just excerpted it like at this link:
The world has never seen such freezing heat more fraud from NASA's Dr James Hansen
Or you can learn to post articles that includes the HTML code for their links, italics, bolded statements, blockquotes, etc. like this:
The Soros Connection in the Minnesota Senate Race Vote Count
The easiest way is to click on the "printer friendly" link, if the source has one, usually located next to the email link. At some sources, the "Print Article" link only is good for printing a hard copy. That's not true at American Thinker, but you can learn how to scan the source code to find the section of text and HTML commands that you want to copy.
When you have a "printer friendly" link, just left click on it. Then you right click on it. You'll get a menu selection with one entry that says something like View Source. Click on that. That's the source code in a new window. My new window is called printpage[1] - Notepad. I ignore all the HTML formating commands. I just scroll down to where you see the text begins. I select and copy from there down. It will include all the HTML commands for links, images, etc. You just have to inspect it to make sure you don't have what are called relative links, i.e. incomplete URL addresses for links and images. Here's almost an example of what they look like because in HTML if you don't separate the a letter or / symbol from < and > signs, the code disappears. Here's a relative link:
< a href="/2008/01/obamas_alinsky_jujitsu.html">Alinsky jujitsu< /a>
You have to add the URL for "home" for the website, in this case for American Thinker:
http://www.americanthinker.com
Then you have what's called an absolute link that looks like this:
< a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/01/obamas_alinsky_jujitsu.html">Alinsky jujitsu< /a>
Just remember to close those spaces that I inserted to show you what these commands almost look like. If I just confused you, check the HTML Sandbox 2008
I guess it’s going to be a good idea to start trading email addresses with all your favorite FReeper FRiends.
You read this yet?

“When good people get into trouble because they are attacked and heavily smitten by the vile and the wicked, they must be very careful not to get at loggerheads with one another. The common enemy is always trying to bring this about, and of course in bad luck a lot of things happen which play into the enemy’s hands. We must just make the best of things as they come along.
...
Good night then: Sleep to gather strength for the morning. For the morning will come. Brightly it will shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.” Churchill, 21 Oct, 1940
Two can play this game. Conservatives should instigate action against stations transmitting what we don’t like. Use their own methods against them. Tit for tat.
