The mission of radio free brattleboro is to uphold and exercise First
Amendment rights...

It's almost comical, the number of people who still believe that the First
Amendment gives them an unvarnished "right" to operate a radio station without
a license. The Supreme Court stated explicitly, 60 years ago, that that was
not the case. The FCC has been hearing this argument for decades, and it's no
less wrong now than it was decades ago.

The Bill of Rights explicitly states Congress shall make no law abridging the

freedom of speech, and it is clear to us and millions of Americans that the FCC
has failed all of us.

"Us and millions of Americans" have apparently never read NBC v. United States,
in which the Supreme Court explicitly states that the First Amendment does not
apply to radio broadcast licensing procedures.
