ENDANGERED RIGHTS: FREEDOM OF SPEECH

Freedom of Speech is one of the most critical rights to hold on to, for dear life. The 1st Amendment to our constitution states that Congress shall make no law “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”. Yet, this right is under assault. After essentially nationalizing large segments of the banking and auto industries, and while working to nationalize health care, our government is now moving aggressively to curtail our freedom of speech by taking control of speech in the media, starting with talk radio.
Leftists in Congress tried and failed to pass legislation that would curtail freedom of speech,
with the so-called "Fairness Doctrine". Now they’re trying to achieve that goal by administrative fiat, through regulatory control.
The initiative is led by one of President Obama’s advisory “Czars”, our new Mark Lloyd. Lloyd, the chief diversity officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an avowed Marxist Socialist who publicly praises Hugo Chavez’s takeover of the media in Venezuela! This must be stopped, at all (peaceful) costs.
Media Research Center(MRC) sent me this collection of their research and analysis on Mr. Lloyd and his radical views on how to seize control of the airwaves. Please take a moment to read this material and share it with your family and friends.
