Fighting the Right Begins With You

. . . and PTS!

Buzzflash this AM has a great article on a guy named Robert Millman up in Schenectady , NY who wanted to put some issue ads on his local radio station. Here is the text for one ad:

DISSENT
This is a paid radio moment–
Some of us disagree with the President.
We think the Iraq war is a mess.
We think vote suppression is a crime.
We think tax cuts for the rich are a bad idea.
We think business doesn’t know best. (pause)
And we think dissent is an American value. (pause)
This country was born because people questioned authority.
It’s as American as apple pie.
__________

WHOA! FREE SPEECH! PRETTY DANGEROUS STUFF!
__________

The ads were self produced, and he paid for the full price airtime himself and . . . (you are waaay ahead of me here) they were turned down.

You see WGY is a CLEAR CHANNEL station, and they play men of great moral values like Rusty "Hillbilly Heroin" Limbaugh, and liars like Glen Beck and are BIIIIGGG supporters of Bush.

They also don't believe in the first amendment. But we do.

Listen to all the ads below, and send the web address for PTS on to your friends. Lets get these ads out to MILLIONS despite the chumps at WGY.
