From our friends at MRCAction.org, a petition to stop the Fairness Doctrine and save conservative talk radio:
Even though they virtually dominate the media on television and in print, liberals are now poised to go after the top prize: talk radio.
Despite the fact that there is no market for their radical ideas, they are building the case to use the FCC to censor free speech by resurrecting the Fairness Doctrine -- a blatant form of government control of ideas that could banish the conservative voice from the airwaves! Right now, a bill is being prevented from getting to the floor for a vote by liberal leadership in Congress. This bill - the Broadcaster Freedom Act -- would permanently ban the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" and bring about true Radio Independence once and for all!
Each year, we celebrate our country's Independence on July 4. This year, let's also celebrate Radio Independence Day, but we need your help!We must join together to save the free debate of ideas from government censorship! Please sign this special Citizen Petition to stop the Fairness Doctrine.
