Censorship

[Aaron]

CencorshipYes, way off topic and what about the rights of the radio stations to voice thier 
opinions.  HOLY DOUBLE STANDARD, BATMAN!  What about my right to disagree with what she said at the 
concert and boycot her music and concerts.

I couldn't have cared less 5 minutes ago but now I'm torked off that you are trying to enlist the 
help of this group in promoting your own censorship.

Maybe next time you should stick to topic.

Aaron

Whether or not you listen to the Dixie Chicks, something has to be done about the new campaign 
against all of us in their names.

This evening, Intercom and Infinity Broadcasting have taken it upon themselves to censor the 
freedom of speech of Natalie Maines, the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, for remarks she made at a 
concert in London. She paused between songs and proclaimed to the audience, "Just so you know, 
we're ashamed [that] the President of the United States is from Texas."

It is enough that these megla-conglomorates control what music people know and therefore what music 
they accept; now they have taken it upon themselves to control their listeners' thoughts as well. 
They have pulled all Dixie Chicks songs from rotation in Kansas City and likely elsewhere. HOLY 
WITCH HUNT, BATMAN!! And this two months before their concert here!

If you have ever thought that you can make a difference, you can now. Stand up for the rights of 
musicians to voice their opinions without being punished. We have to do something. Below is a list 
of the three radio stations in KC that are banning Dixie Chicks music, complete with request lines, 
office lines, program and music directors, and more importantly, all their advertising clients 
contact information. Call the PD's and tell them they are Nazis. Tell them you won't listen to 
their stations or go to any concerts they promote. Call the jocks and hound them with requests for 
Dixie Chicks tunes. (this will be the hardest part). Call their sponsors and tell them you are 
boycotting their products and services unless this censorship ends. Tell them to pull their ad 
campaigns.

As you sift through the advertisers, notice that Knight Ridder and Time Warner are amongst them! 
This is UNACCEPTABLE.

The music community as a bloc has to stand up against this. They are doing irreparable harm to 
hundreds of thousands of easily swayed minds at a time when each of them need to think very 
logically about what the country they live in is about to get itself into. And they are making it 
seem like a funny little joke. We have to have the last laugh here.

I am forwarding this post and all of the information in it to MoveOn, the DNC, F.A.I.R., InfoWars, 
Radio Left, the People's Voice, and A.N.S.W.E.R. Take some time and act on this. The Virtual March 
on Washington worked. This can too.
