Doggett votes against Freedom of Speech

In a House vote where our First Amendment rights were on the line, Rep Lloyd Doggett votes for the "Fairness Doctrine" and against Freedom of Speech. The House voted overwhelmingly Thursday ( June 28, 2007 )to prohibit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from using taxpayer dollars to impose the Fairness Doctrine on broadcasters, but Doggett sided with 114 others, all Democrats, to support the "Fairness Doctrine" assault on free speech and an indepedent media.

Bush would not support such a change in policy, but an FCC appointed by Hillary Clinton or another Democrat would, as many major Democrats - including Senators like Durbin, Reid, and Feinstein, and Speaker Pelosi - have come out to support the so-called "Fairness Doctrine".

Fairness Doctrine = Censorship
