Reps. Murphy and Courtney Vote AGAINST the Fairness Doctrine

I've not seen any reporting in Connecticut on this yet, but yesterday the U.S. House passed an amendment 309-115 basically preventing reimposition of the ill-fated Fairness Doctrine. Most interestingly, although liberal Congressmen Rosa DeLauro and John Larson voted against the amendment, freshmen Congressmen Joe Courtney and Chris Murphy voted for free speech and the marketplace. You can access the full vote here.

It is time to go after elected officials that misuse their powers, defraud taxpayers, and retaliate against citizens.

One of these two mentioned in the story allegedly used his influence as a law partner to ruin one of my friends for a favor.

I am going national and to legislators in the State of Connecticut to pass legislation and to amend the already illegally amended Connecticut Constitution. [click here]

I am going to be out and about in Connecticut and in Washington, DC, with my video camera. It is time to get honesty in government, we need to enact Private Attorney General legislation bolstering Grand Juries.

So those with the most cash get to say what they want and the rest of us can go screw. The Fairness Doctrine should never have been repealed in the first place.
