Pence Pushing Freedom Forth With Media Laws
Human Events ^ | 10/17/2007 | Ericka Andersen

Indiana Congressman Mike Pence is one of the strongest opponents of the Democrats’ attacks on free speech and especially their plans to kill conservative talk radio by re-instituting the so-called “fairness doctrine”, the unconstitutional regulation requiring government mandated, balanced political coverage. A former talk radio host himself, Pence is also fervent about “The Free Flow of Information Act”, to protect confidentiality between reporters and sources, which passed by a vote of 398-21 last evening.

Yesterday, speaking with reporters and bloggers at The Heritage Foundation, Pence said he encountered a telling Bible verse in his morning devotions. “Where the Spirit of Lord is, there is freedom,” read the passage, which is also printed across the banner of the Indianapolis Star.

It is vitally important that the liberals kiss-up to the MSM.

Without the liberal media's propaganda stream, the Democrat Party would have disappeared long ago.

My Rep is Nancy Boyda who promised us the world then voted with Pelosi every time. I’m going to call her Washington office and tell her she better sign the discharge petition. We have local talk radio that I would hate to lose. She goes on this show once a month and takes heat from callers. I’m sure she would love to see it gone.
