Stop The Push To Silence Free Speech

[NewsBot]

We are hearing more and more about reviving the “Fairness Doctrine” - an old censorship law that destroyed free speech and talk radio several years ago. We are also hearing about the possibility of extending the effects of censorship into the blogosphere and the Internet. This cannot happen!

I have just taken action to stop the attacks on our Free Speech Rights, and I’m asking that you join with me by clicking here:

Will The Fairness Doctrine Silence The Conservative Voice as well as others?

Will 2009 usher in a fanatical push to re-instate the so-called Fairness Doctrine? Such a move would effectively silence the conservative voice and remove the last conservative stronghold against a fast-moving liberal agenda.

One need only read the words of Dianne Feinstein to see the true threat to conservative speech that is brewing on the horizon!

“Talk radio tends to be one-sided. It also tends to be dwelling in hyperbole. It’s xplosive. 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.”

Recognizing this threat, the Media Research Center has created the Free Speech Alliance which is a coalition of organizations and citizens strongly opposed to any such move to limit or undermine our Free Speech Rights!

Please take a moment right now to join the hundreds of thousands of Americans who oppose the Fairness Doctrine and all that it stands for by clicking here:

Thanks for joining with me.

This isn’t just about saving conservative talk radio. This is about all censorship that affects every American. None of us should consider the prospects of restricting another’s opinion no matter from which side of the aisle you sit.

I know I have liberal, moderate, conservative and independent thinkers who visit this site. Prohibiting the right of any American to offer commentary and opinion on important issues is un-American. Don’t allow this to happen. You don’t have to be a conservative to protect First Amendment rights.
