Rush Limbaugh invites controversy. This isn't news. But when Congress' majority party decides to mount a petition against Mr. Limbaugh and uses the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to do it, that's when it becomes news.
We at Catholic Radio International are concerned that members of Congress are spending their time and resources (and possibly even taxpayer money) in order to tell a private citizen who is exercising his First Amendment rights, "Shut up!" Never mind that the DCCC took his remarks out of context. The clearer message here is that if you oppose the Obama administration in such a public way, his allies in Congress will be all over you.
In response to this attack on the First Amendment, CRI has launched "Rush To Be Heard In Washington." We are encouraging everyone to register their strongest objections to the DCCC's assault on a private citizen by going to www.catholicradiointernational.com and clicking on the "Rush To Be Heard In Washington" banner. Enter either a written or verbal message to the DCCC, and Catholic Radio International will deliver them to the Speaker of the House, the DCCC and President Obama.
If you have not done so already, shine a bright light on the presumptive actions of the DCCC by blogging this story. As Christians, whose early history is written in the blood of martyrs who stood up to the state, we must respond forcefully to attacks on our rights to free expression.
