God bless them as they take this stand!! They have the weight of the evil lefty world against them—but so did David when he faced Goliath!

Thanks for posting this, sir. :o)

I listened to Jay's show this morning while applying spackle (sp?) to my face. The subject matter got me upset and didn't help with smoothing out those wrinkles. sigh.

I have not donated anything to ACLJ for a while. This might just be an issue worthy of hard earned money!

The source of the support for the “Fairness Doctrine” comes from political sources. It is not coming from a groundswell of the common man. Therefore, we can conclude that the doctrine is politically motivated. We know this is true, but ask anyone stuck on stupid to see if they can name the source of support.

Radio, cable, the internet......all are being discussed as needing “fairness” correction measures by the left. Seems they want to control the information flow. Good way to minimize any organized movements by the right.

Thanks for the ping. As the left has made it obvious that they will re-insert the fairness doctrine into our body politic through a series of policy initiatives, we need organizations like the ACLJ and Mr. Sekolow to handle the legal defense. Please do what you can to support and inform this excellent organization. Their address is http://www.aclj.org/Default.aspx

He will not block local content rules, which will do the same thing.

You’d have that exactly right!

How so? All that is needed is for an organization like ACLJ to sue a city or state that would try and impose local content, and take it all the way to the Supreme Court. And the sooner, the better. Seats will be a opening on SCOTUS soon and then we are doomed.

Cable, too? Evenness on MSNBC and CNN? Sure — I’ll believe that when I see it.

Michael Savage has retained the Thomas More Society legal team to launch a series of lawsuits against the censorship doctrine, too.
