Free Speech Under Siege
Why is it that the guys on the left pretend they are for free speech and yet they take every opportunity they can to stop the voices that they disagree with from speaking? Now they’ve announced that they’re putting Glenn Beck’s Fox News TV show in their crosshairs.
ColorofChange.org — the group once run by self-professed communist Van Jones, now a senior White House staffer, a.k.a. the “Green Czar”– is spearheading an effort to persuade advertisers to drop their sponsorship of Glenn Beck’s show. That is, lefties want to muscle Fox into canceling Beck’s show on Fox. There is no evidence that Fox is ever going to cave in to such pressure, of course, but that won’t stop ColorofChange, aided by the MSM, from trying.
It is axiomatic that under the First Amendment assessments of the political content of talk radio or TV for the purpose of deciding whether those programs should continue or not is a violation of free speech. Even though this boycott doesn’t come directly from the White House, it is perilously close.
There are millions of us who watch Glenn Beck’s show regularly. And so I have created this website as a place for those of us who support him to speak out.
Let’s all join together on behalf of Glenn Beck. Please join me–because this is your fight, too.

Thanks for starting this blog. I pray that we don't lose our first ammendment right to free speech.
Thanks for starting this blog. Glenn Beck is one of the good guys and the president and his minions are scared to death of him. We need to stop them in their tracks.
Glenn Beck is one of the few commentators that will point out the false statements of Barak Obama. Not only do I want him to stay on Fox, but I hope one day he gets the 8 Eastern slot occupied by the Factor.
Met you at Righton conf. We need more patriots like you.
Amen to all the above.
Counselor, I'm delighted you started this website. I'm sending it to 100 others.
Since I too am a lawyer I'm APPALLED to see 'Lawyers.com' as one of the sponsors who's turned-coat (word? Phrase?)on Glenn. And as the doctor said: He does need to take O'Reilly's spot. Bill's gotten quite vanilla, doubtless the result of making sure that Chairman O will continue to visit the Factor.
As we say every day in Federal Court: God Save These United States!
