One More Reason...

Here is one more reason that we need to be involved. There are government members who wish to take away some of our rights. When one right is taken away or even limited, a slippery slope in created in which all of our rights are threatened.

You may have heard of The Fairness Doctrine. There are politicians that would like to bring a form of the doctrine back to limit what can be aired on radio and television. There have been dozens of examples of politicians who seek to limit our right or take them away completely in the last few years. The problem is that they usually pick a particular target that is polarizing or emotional in some way and fire away. The problem is that when they aim at one thing, they is almost always collateral damage. If politicians and bureaucrats were allowed to pass a law limiting the free speech of "right wing extreme talk radio" or any other specific group, do you think that Christians would not be effected?

I suggest that if you have not read the Bill of Rights or the Constitution lately, that you do so. It is difficult to protect your rights if you do no know what they are.

So why I am discussing the protection of preservation of our rights? To this day, we are the most free Country in the World. This enables us to spread the Gospel like no other Country can. If the Fairness Doctrine were passed tomorrow, no only would it apply to talk radio, but to Christian radio as well. It would then spread into our churches and places of worship. In order for us to maintain our right to worship freely and witness freely, we must keep our 1st Amendment Rights intact.
