Don't be fooled.
Some say there's no threat of Christians and conservatives being taken off the air ... no threat of a rejuvenated ''Fairness'' Doctrine being enacted ... that President Obama has come out against it.
But the facts tell a very different story. Those who urgently want Christians and conservatives off the air are finding new means of getting their way.
We cannot let them succeed!
Give an online gift now to help the ACLJ fight to preserve free speech on the airwaves!
The latest trick is a push for ''local advisory boards'' that will supposedly ''ensure'' the content of a broadcast ''serves the local community.'' They want to force radio programs to ''balance'' their messages by giving equal time to opposing viewpoints.
This will have a chilling effect on conservative and Christian broadcast media outlets.
Your world will radically change - and quickly - if the government is allowed to censor some speech and compel other speech, according to the whims of a few aggressive bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.
This is not a ''don't worry'' scenario. This is not a ''Fairness Doctrine is dead'' scenario. This is a dangerous scenario - an unconstitutional restriction on free speech!
We must see the ''Broadcaster Freedom Act'' passed in order to circumvent this kind of unconstitutional censorship.
We must not allow any American to be silenced because of his or her point of view.
The ACLJ is mounting a nationwide campaign in support of the Broadcaster Freedom Act - to permanently prohibit the so-called ''Fairness'' Doctrine effort - before it takes root and destroys our freedom of speech.
Stand with us today with your online donation as we say, loud and clear: WE MUST NOT LET FREE SPEECH BE DESTROYED!
Speaking out against abortion - speaking up for the traditional definition of marriage - even reading certain parts of the Bible - none of these could be addressed in our broadcasts under the ''Fairness'' Doctrine, unless equal time were given to the opposing view.
While we work for passage of the Broadcaster Freedom Act, we're also preparing for a fight in court. If the bill doesn't pass, and the ''Fairness'' Doctrine goes forward, we'll have to engage in a legal battle.
We must combat the threat of the ''Fairness'' Doctrine with every possible legal strategy and resource at our disposal ... and that includes YOU! We need your strong support.
Give generously today to help us in this fight for freedom of speech and in all of our efforts on your behalf.
Please let me hear from you immediately. We cannot delay action on this issue. It's moving fast here in Washington.
