I have sent this to my Reps in the House and Senate, I encourage all to do the same. Sponsored in the Senate (S. 333) by Ernest Hollings, the South Carolina Democrat, and in the House (H.R. 1985) by Bill Hefner, the North Carolina Democrat. Since my representative is Zoe Lofgren, very tear jerking liberal and my Senators are Boxer, arguably the dumbest person on the planet, Demoncrat. And Feinstein, gun grabbing gun toting Demoncrat. I don’t expect much support or that they will even read it. They have made up their minds.

Congressman XXXXXXXX:
Currently there is legislation before Congress that would reinstate a federal communications policy known as the “fairness doctrine.”  The doctrine’s supporters seem not to appreciate just how much the broadcast world has changed since 1949. With the proliferation of informational resources and technology, the number of broadcast outlets available to the public has increased steadily. In such an environment, it is hard to understand why the federal government must police the airwaves to ensure that differing views are heard. The result of a reinstituted fairness doctrine would not be fair at all. In practice, much controversial speech heard today would be stifled as the threat of random investigations and warnings discouraged broadcasters from airing what FCC bureaucrats might refer to as “unbalanced” views.
The fallacy upon which the doctrine rests concerns the idea of “fairness” itself. As defined by proponents of the doctrine, “fairness” apparently means that each broadcaster must offer air time to anyone with a controversial view. Since it is impossible for every station to be monitored constantly, FCC regulators would arbitrarily determine what “fair access” is, and who is entitled to it, through selective enforcement. This, of course, puts immense power into the hands of federal regulators.
I do not feel the freedom of our country should include the restriction of what I can or cannot listen to. Additionally, I especially do not need a specific organization restricting the very freedom  nor the freedom of speech.
While I fully expect you to support this legislation, I ask you not to climb onto this particular bandwagon.
Sincerely,
