The US House Bill The Left Does Not Want You To Know About!

The House Bill the Left Dosen’t Want You To Know About!

******************

Here is an extremely important House Bill, introduce by Representative Mike Pence of the 6th District of Indiana. This single bill could have a lasting effect upon the Broadcasting Industry in this country…. a good, a valuable effect. It would, of course, drive a stake through the heart of the Fairness Doctrine and put it out of its misery. Last time I checked, Pence has 100 co-signers of the Bill and… if it gets to the floor… there is every expectation that it will pass, at least the US House, and most likely, the Senate.

Now… the question: have you heard about this Bill?????? Well, have you? Did you read about it in your newspapers? Did you hear about it on the TV news (Fox News Network did mention it.)? (I found it on the Internet!)

Second question…. If you answered “NO” to the question above… ask yourself… WHY… you haven’t heard about this extremely important piece of legislation. Could it be that the left wing media (and it is FAR, FAR larger that broadcasters from the right)… did not want you to learn of it… for fear that you would create an avalanche of mail, e-mail, and faxes, to your Congressperson and thereby ensure this bill is passed into law? NAHHH! Certainly not! Why, the Mainstream Media would never do any thing like that! Would they???

Read the Bill (below) and see for yourself. I will be urging my Congressman to vote in favor of this bill as soon as it reaches the House floor.

OK, now that you know, can you explain why the Media is not informing the public about this Bill? You still think the Mainstream media is unbiased? If so, did you forget to take your meds this morning???
