On 7 Feb, 22:55, wrote: We, the undersigned, assert our rights as citizens of the United States in demanding that Congress immediately drop all legislative efforts to re-impose the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" and that the president of the United States veto any so-called "Fairness Doctrine" legislation approved by Congress and that the U.S. Supreme Court overturn as unconstitutional any so-called "Fairness Doctrine" legislation approved by Congress and signed by the president. SIGN THE PETITION -http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=87882 Another Neo-Commie Democratic U.S. senator has gone on record as supporting the reinstatement of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine," adding, "I feel like that's gonna happen." http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=88113 . . The idea that Congress will re-instate the Fairness Doctrine borders on an Urban Legend. 1. The act was repealed in 1989: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...143EF932A25751.... 2. Obama does not support the doctrine: http://www.foxnews.com/video-search/...t_fairness.htm and also at http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=80424 "Sen. Obama does not support reimposing the Fairness Doctrine on broadcasters," campaign press secretary Michael Ortiz told Broadcasting & Cable earlier this year. "He considers this debate to be a distraction from the conversation we should be having about opening up the airwaves and modern communications to as many diverse viewpoints as possible." 3. No action by Congress is currently being considered, although some Congress members have voiced support: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairness_Doctrine "In the 110th Congress (2007-2009), where Democrats hold a majority of both Houses, no legislation to restore the Fairness Doctrine has been introduced." 4. Some people have confused the Fairness Doctrine and the Class Fairness Act which Obama does support. RO Better to be safe than sorry SIGN THE DAMN PETITION YOU FASCIST - http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=87882 |
