Vlemx News: Keep Informed

Do you support the government forcing Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and other conservatives on talk radio OFF THE AIR?
Well, that’s exactly what Nancy Pelosi and other liberals in Congress are working to do RIGHT NOW through the reinstatement of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.”
In fact, Pelosi admitted as much at a recent breakfast hosted by Christian Science Monitor and attended by the news media.
During the breakfast, Human Events Political Editor John Gizzi asked Pelosi if she would permit a vote on the Broadcaster Freedom Act — the bill sponsored by Representative Mike Pence (R-IN) to prevent reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine — if Pence secured the necessary signatures on his discharge petition to force his bill out of committee.
Without hesitation, Pelosi’s answer was an unequivocal “NO!”
But that’s not all!  According to Mr. Gizzi:
“[Pelosi] added that ‘the interest in my caucus is the reverse’ and that New York Democratic Rep. ‘Louise Slaughter has been active behind this [revival of the Fairness Doctrine] for a while now.’ …
“‘So I don’t see it [the Pence bill] coming to the floor,’ Pelosi said.”
And, like any good reporter would do, Gizzi asked the obvious follow-up question:
“‘Do you personally support revival of the Fairness Doctrine?’ I asked.”
“‘Yes,’ the speaker replied, without hesitation.”
So there you have it.  When it comes to silencing dissenting voices to their leftist agenda, Pelosi and Company says “silence them all, silence them now!”
Never mind the will of the people!  Never mind the First Amendment to the Constitution, which Pelosi and her liberal cohorts took an oath to uphold!
Since we last alerted you to liberals’ efforts to HUSH RUSH and other conservatives on talk radio, two more Members of Congress have stepped forward and signed Pence’s discharge petition.
That means we are now only 16 signatures shy of forcing the Broadcaster Freedom Act to the House floor for a fair up-or-down vote.
That means your blast faxes, phone calls, and letters to Congress are having a major impact — you and your fellow CFIF activists deserve all the credit for this progress.
But we must turn up the heat.  Together, we must call Pelosi’s bluff by helping Congressman Pence secure those 16 remaining signatures today to force Pelosi to hold a vote on the Broadcaster Freedom Act!

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is STILL REFUSING to allow a fair up-or-down vote on Rep. Mike Pence’s Broadcaster Freedom Act — a simple bill that will thwart attempts by liberals to institute their so-called “Fairness Doctrine” and KILL CONSERVATIVE TALK RADIO.   Remember, we are making progress.  We only need 16 more signatures on Pence’s discharge petition to FORCE Pelosi to allow a fair up-or-down vote on the Broadcaster Freedom Act.
And that means we need to keep bombarding them until they cry ‘uncle’ and finally do what their employers — the American people — want.  Tell them the American people should be free to decide whether they want to listen to Rush Limbaugh, or Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham. Tell them we do not live in the former Soviet Union and that liberals in Congress have no right to decide what the American people should or should not hear!
