Shut Up, America!: The End of Free Speech

By Brad O'Leary

Can you be trusted with free speech? Many politicians in Washington don't think so. They see your right to free speech as a threat to their seat in power. In this hard-hitting book, bestselling author Brad O'Leary exposes the frightening movement afoot that would eviscerate the First Amendment. With his trademark, take-no-prisoners approach, O'Leary shows you how censorship is on the march. From the Orwellian Fairness Doctrine to so-called campaign finance reform, you will learn the real threats, who the enemies of Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine are (including names of senators, congressmen, and Obama administration officials), what they're up to, and how you can fight back and save your freedom. Over two decades ago, Ronald Reagan gave birth to a flourishing, free exchange of ideas when his Federal Communications Commission removed the shackles of the misnamed Fairness Doctrine and restored the First Amendment. However, what was a boon to honest debate has proven to be a nightmare for left-wing politicians. Now these censorship proponents have the upper hand and the First Amendment in their sights.

A look at the rising possibility and opposition through law of the Fairness Doctrine

If true freedom is unrestricted, unbound, and with no consequences, then why do some lawmakers want to restrict and bind it? "Shut Up, America: The End of Free Speech" is a look at the rising possibility and opposition through law of the Fairness Doctrine that will restrict some political views on the airwaves of radio and television. Could censorship come under the mask of equality? "Shut Up, America!" believes so, and presents information here for better understanding of what could become a major issue in coming years.

Good Read

Short, sweet and to the point. The author lays out the liberal polititians plans to implement the Fairness Doctrine in it's differnet names and guises. And also explains some of the dangers should it actually be implemented.

Inciteful and timely--MUST READ

I just got done reading this and WOW. If you care about your First Amendment rights at all, I recommend reading this book. Tons of great stuff in here about how the Obama administration and Dems in Congress are gunning for our rights and talk radio. It ain't just the Fairness Doctrine we have to fear--they're moving on all fronts. I hope enough people read this book so they know what's going on. Enough is enough!

Timely and Terrifying

Brad O'Leary gives us the exact plans of Barack Obama and the liberal Democrats in Congress who want to silence any dissent. In the process they stifle all free speech. Regardless of your political views this should shock you. Laws don't go away after democrats are no longer in power.

A Timely Warning

Brad O'Leary has presented a timely warning about the current threat to end free speech in this great nation. This book is filled with information from historical to current perspectives on how the freedom of speech is under attack. The left-wingers are threatened by freedom of speech, especially by conservative talk radio shows, which expose many left-wingers' ideologies and hypocrisies that are detrimental to this great nation. Thus the left-wingers are currently campaigning for the reinstitution of the Fairness Doctrine: an attempt to control conservative voices. This is an excellent book to get ourselves educated about the current threat by the left to undermine the freedom of speech. However, I think this book lacks the discussions on the methods of how private citizens can counter this threat against free speech.
