A Victory! YEA GOD!

Our work never ends...and neither do our prayers!

From Jay Sekulow at American for Civil Law & Justice-"A Temporary Reprieve"

The outcry against this measure has been nothing short of amazing. We heard from over 20,000 citizens in just 48 hours, expressing outrage over this attempt to muzzle our voices. At the same time, House leadership has indicated that they will now re-evaluate the Fairness Doctrine, which would significantly censor and curtail conservative talk radio and Christian talk radio. Our Government Affairs office is looking at the Fairness Doctrine issue right now. I’ve also assembled a legal team that’s preparing an analysis on why the Fairness Doctrine would be an unconstitutional restraint on free speech.

Kucinich: Congress To Take On FCC

Citizens Right to Petition Government Protected

Rev Louis Sheldon, Chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) made the following statement tonight regarding removal of the harmful grassroots provision (Section 220) in S.1, the Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act of 2007.

“I applaud the Members of the U.S. Senate who voted for Bennett amendment 20 to remove section 220 from the bill.”

“When you start the legislative year with a piece of legislation which is so bad that TVC and the ACLU unite to fight it – this does not bode well for the coming months.”

“I am pleased we were able to stop this breach of the First Amendment masquerading as lobbying reform.”

“Of course, I support any and all efforts to fight corruption, but not at the expense of a citizen’s right to petition his or her government.”
