Steve Vaus, whose patriotic anthem "We Must Take America Back" got him blacklisted by the recording industry 17 years ago, has re-recorded the song with updated lyrics for 2009 – and, this time, he believes, not even a radio station boycott can silence his haunting and inspirational track.
In 1992, Vaus signed a recording contract with RCA. The resulting CD was called "We Must Take America Back," and the title track instantly struck a chord with Americans starved for entertainment that spoke to them, touched their hearts and reinforced their core values.
"We must take America back," Vaus sang. "Put an end to the gangs and the drugs in the street and the fact that the bad guys most always go free. That is wrong. We need leaders who lead us, not stick us and bleed us and take all our money and send it abroad. We must take America back. We need prayer in schools and more things made in USA. It's the least we can do for the red, white and blue. We must take America back."
The song began climbing the charts. Many radio stations found it was the most requested song on their playlists once listeners heard it. Based on radio airplay, the song zoomed onto the Billboard 100 CHART – with a bullet, as they say. That is a national chart based on radio play.

“blacklisted by the recording industry”
the left is 100x worse now than McCarthy was. McCarthy’s only mistake was being public. It’s often how they beat us, Alinsky’s rule 4 before it was codified:
“Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.””
I didn’t believe it would happen—but there now *are* some P-Od Americans out there—probably not enough *yet* but maybe....
Maybe most of them *are* too stupid to be Americans—but even so, it’ll work even if for the wrong reasons.
Freep this!
Request this to be played every day until we get America back.
Does anyone have any idea who were the complainers who got the song pulled 17 years ago? Whaat are they doing now?
The Thought Police won’t like this.
