I just received a press release from U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander stating that he has signed on to cosponsor S. 1748, the Broadcaster Freedom Act of 2007.
“It’s ridiculous to suggest that that there should be a Federal rule requiring broadcasters need to present contrasting points of view on controversial issues,” said Alexander. “We have plenty viewpoints in the media – including television, newspapers, and the Internet – and the Democrats should stop trying to silence talk radio. I will keep fighting to ensure our free speech is protected.”
Exactly.
Marsha Blackburn (my congressman) ranks 11th in the House of Representatives for pro-economic growth voting according to the 2006 Congressional Scorecard from the Club for Growth, receiving an 88.
Not bad to be 11th out of 429 representatives!
For comparison, my senators Frist and Alexander ranked 32nd (73) and 26th (78) respectively.
