Mike Pence Wins Values Voter Summit Straw Poll

This one kind of surprised me. I know it's probably not indicative of how the majority of conservative voters would vote, but if you'd asked me who I thought might top the list Mike Pence wouldn't have come to mind at all. I like him, have no problems with him being up there, but still a surprise. 

Who would you vote for if the election for president happened this year? Lots of good choices on the list below.

Herman Cain - Action Needed on Broadcaster Freedom Act

Congressman Mike Pence and his fellow Congressman and free speech champion Greg Walden, will try to have the Broadcaster Freedom Act - which will help protect talk radio from Obama's FCC - added as an amendment to the Financial Services budget bill on Tuesday.

But according to Congressman Pence, Speaker Pelosi won't allow it - UNLESS WE DEMAND THAT SHE DOES SO.

As you may recall, the Broadcaster Freedom Act of 2009 would amend the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), from requiring broadcasters to arbitrarily present opposing viewpoints on controversial issues of public importance, commonly referred to as the Fairness Doctrine.

Please locate your Representatives phone number here (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102638803407&s=43982&e=0012r6CfpIGKs5aJVJkgnWcoPj0eyMsFF-t0mp8n1cd1Z7jieT0omHT5msJnUVMcf5Zo9D33MrETEzJDed7kSzLpy5T05-N_bkGVoKEkLUAO18crB8VZGXi_VmIeY-_PWfd) and call and fax them today, demanding that he or she tell Speaker Pelosi to allow a full, fair up or down vote on the Broadcaster Freedom Amendment. You may also contact them by email. However, a phone call will be more immediate and effective at this point.

The time is now to protect talk radio! Please, pick up the phone and start dialing right away. And don't stop; we need you to call immediately.

We saw just last week how much our voices can impact congress if we just let them hear what we have to say. Please contact your Representative ASAP.
