The talk shows have prepared too well for this to succeed. They are going to try something as both the Dems and Rep. want to squash dissent. The GOP may be worse. Their supporters generally listen to talk radio and are not happy being criticized in front of their constituents. I believe that localism will be the method that they will try. They will target radio, but remember that the three major networks also send their signals over the "public" airwaves. Would they not be subject to the same local limits?

True. We ARE returning to The Constitution and The Declaration as a country. Therefore, we are returning to FREEDOM. Amen! Stand up! I am! I call The White House and The House or Senate daily to let them know of the awfulness that has been attempted and what MUST be done to return this country. FREEDOM doctrine would trump all else.
