Notable Quotes

“It’s time to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine.”
-- Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL)

"In my view, talk radio tends to be one-sided. It also tends to be dwelling in hyperbole. It's explosive. It pushes people to, I think, extreme views without a lot of information…. I’m looking at [the Fairness Doctrine]…. Unfortunately, talk radio is overwhelmingly one way.”
--Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)

"I think the Fairness Doctrine ought to be there ... One of the most profound changes in the balance of the media was when the conservatives got rid of equal time requirements. The result is that they've been able to squeeze down and squeeze out opinion of opposing views."
-- Sen. John Kerry (D-MA)

The Left’s New Back-Door Strategy
to Silence Talk Radio
Read Brent's challenge
to FCC Chairman Copps

Urgent!
After Signing our Petition, call both Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid directly and urge them to bring the Broadcaster Freedom Act to the floor for a full vote!
Pelosi 202-225-4965
Reid 202-224-3542

The Left is launching a new and more deceptive strategy to implement the so-called “Fairness” Doctrine -- under different names and without a vote in Congress. But their goal remains the same – the silencing of conservative and Christian talk radio.

Obama’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is preparing to use regulatory terms like “diversity,” “localism” and serving the Left’s definition of the “public interest” as new, backdoor “Fairness” Doctrines to indirectly impose radio censorship. This new line of attack could be implemented without a vote in Congress and without ever using the name “Fairness” Doctrine.

Obama’s acting FCC Chairman, Michael Copps, says he believes the government has a role in enforcing media “diversity” -- including the re-examination of station licensing and making popular conservative and Christian radio programming somehow “more reflective” of “public interest!”

Copps added that given the new political climate, “we have a tremendous opportunity going forward to reinvigorate our media, to ensure that the public airwaves truly deliver the kind of news and information that we need to sustain our democratic dialouge and to reflect the great diversity of our country.”

This government intrusion on our Free Speech Rights must be stopped.

The next key flashpoint in this debate over these new “Fairness” Doctrines is the pending confirmation hearings for Julius Genachowski as Obama’s FCC Chairman. MRC’s Free Speech Alliance -- with more than 60 organizations now involved -- seeks to rally over 250,000 Alliance members in time for these hearings -- which are expected soon.

Please sign the petition and join the Free Speech Alliance to stop these insidious attacks of conservative speech.

I am signing this petition to urge members of Obama's Federal Communications Commission (the FCC) and everyone in Washington to reject any and all efforts to censor, limit, or restrain conservative or Christian talk radio. This includes through the antiquated FCC rule mis-known as the “Fairness” Doctrine – as well as backdoor “Fairness” Doctrine-type FCC regulatory powers such as enforcement of “localism,” “diversity in media ownership” and service of the “local” or “public interest.”

Additionally, I am joining with other American citizens who want their individual Free Speech Rights defended and protected from government intrusion! Our great nation was built upon free and open discourse, and to remain a great nation this ideal must be protected and preserved at all costs.

Please note that I will be watching closely and taking action when necessary to directly combat the liberal bias of the media.
