The ACLU wants sex offenders near your children

By |2008-04-03T11:23:59-04:00April 3rd, 2008|

The ACLU in the city of Dover, New Hampshire filed suit last week over an ordinance that prohibits where convicted sex offenders can live – namely keeping them from day care centers and elementary schools.

In response, The American Civil Rights Union highlights the foolish reply of the ACLU. By trying to make this an issue of states rights versus federal rights, they are ignoring the root issue – that the law is aimed at keeping sex offenders away from children.

By drawing attention to the ordinance, the New Hampshire ACLU chapter is attempting to move this issue up in the courts, removing local […]

By |2008-03-25T02:16:31-04:00March 25th, 2008|

“One hundred ninety-four out of 200 House Republicans are backing the effort to block the anticipated revival of the Fairness Doctrine, which they believe is a tool Democrats will use to cut down on the number of conservative radio talk shows. The Fairness Doctrine was discarded by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) during the Reagan administration in 1985. Not one Democrat has signed the petition, which requires 218 signatures to trigger a vote…”

Department of Justice Web site: FISA 101: Why FISA Modernization Amendments Must Be Made Permanent

By |2008-03-24T23:47:06-04:00March 24th, 2008|

“FISA Amendments In The Protect America Act Of 2007 Remain Necessary To Keep Our Nation Safe: The Protect America Act modernized the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to provide our intelligence community essential tools to acquire important information about terrorists who want to harm America. The Act, which passed with bipartisan support in the House and Senate and was signed into law by President Bush on August 5, 2007, restores FISA to its original focus of protecting the rights of persons in the United States, while not acting as an obstacle to gathering foreign intelligence on targets located in foreign countries. By enabling our intelligence community to […]

Department of Justice Memorandum Opinion For The Attorney General (August 24, 2004): Whether the Second Amendment secures a right of individuals generally, not a right of States or a right restricted to persons serving in militias.

“The Second Amendment of the Constitution provides: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” You have asked for the opinion of this Office on one aspect of the right secured by this Amendment.

This memorandum memorializes and expands upon advice that this Office provided to you on this question […]

Congressman Mike Pence's (R-IN) Discharge Petition

By |2008-03-24T23:40:39-04:00March 24th, 2008|

“Following calls from many in Congress to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, House Republicans have responded in force. As of today, every Republican in Congress has cosponsored the Broadcaster Freedom Act and millions who cherish the dynamic forum of American talk radio should be thankful. House Republicans know that bringing back the Fairness Doctrine would amount to government control over political views expressed on the public airwaves. The Broadcaster Freedom Act will prevent the FCC or any future President from reinstating the Fairness Doctrine. This legislation ensures freedom will remain the anthem of our radio airwaves…”

Law Review: The Fairness Doctrine: A Solution in Search of a Problem, by Adrian Cronauer

By |2008-03-24T23:39:30-04:00March 24th, 2008|

“This Article examines the history of the Fairness Doctrine and the more common arguments offered in support of it. If the Fairness Doctrine, as interpreted by the Commission, upheld by the courts, and encouraged by Congress(note 1) were to be reinstituted, it would actually decrease the likelihood of public exposure to varying viewpoints by discouraging broadcasters from covering controversial issues. Furthermore, market forces are achieving the intended effect of the Fairness Doctrine without directly restraining broadcasters. Today’s media-rich environment and the concurrent evolution of individual media outlets catering to specific constituencies, has already allowed the “invisible hand” phenomenon to work in the marketplace of ideas, just as […]
