Help protect Catholic Radio from the Fairness Doctrine and Localism

Over the past several months many press stories and radio programs have been dedicated to the threat to freedom of speech by a federal law re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine.  The fundamental thrust of this proposed law would mandate opposing points of view be aired on all radio stations covering an issue, i.e., if a station runs a program concerning the sanctity of marriage as an institution of man and woman, it would have to run the opposing view.

This doctrine is called “localism,” and the Catholic Radio Association has begun a petition drive against it.

Such an effort will destroy Catholic Radio and eliminate one of the most effective tools for the upbuilding of the Church and the conversion of our culture!
