Chris Carmouche, The GrasstopsUSA Action Alert Newsletter, is sounding the alarm about the danger to our First Amendment.
Suppression Of Speech Is Quickly Becoming The American Way
"If this push for government control of political dialogue were an isolated phenomenon, that would be one thing - no more than an odd perversion of American values in a single industry.
But suppression of free speech is rapidly becoming the American way.
With few exceptions, major newspapers, magazines and the major television networks are monolithically leftist. They steadily lose money, lay-off employees and go out of business, but they stay the course.
In a shocking majority of our colleges and universities, left-wing slogans and Marxist clichés have replaced genuine scholarship in the classroom and on the podium.
Outside speakers with a conservative message are either banned by the administration or else drowned out by shouts. shrieks, and catcalls. Some are physically attacked. Conservative students are savaged by their professors and insulted and bullied by administrators.
Back in the old days, it was the Left that took to the streets, demanding the right to teach radical politics in the classroom and demonstrate in support of revolution.
They had their revolution and, like Stalin and Castro, they turned around and immediately repressed all dissent - EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THEY IMPOSE THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE.
Are you ready to let the federal government tell you what you can and can't hear on the radio or read on the Internet?"
Demand that they [President Obama and each and every Member of the Republican and Democrat Leadership of the House and Senate!] either explain to the American people why they fear and loath the First Amendment, or stop their obstruction and bring the Broadcaster Freedom Act of 2009 to the floor for a fair up-or-down vote. Let the American people know which of our elected officials support the First Amendment and which do not support the First Amendment!
