-----Original Message----- From: The Pen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 9:54 PM Subject: Action Alert: Speak Out Against Right Wing Domestic Terror
Stop Right Wing Terror: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1004.php Before we begin with tonight's alert. Is there anybody on our participant list who is not clear on the fact that WE are the PROGRESSIVES?? Is there anybody out there who is not clear on the concept that we are NOT the extreme right wing racist Republicans?? We have to wonder ... after we finished wading through all the viciously mean spirited and obscenity laced hate mail we got from OTHER progressives and liberals, all because we DARED to criticize President Obama last month for not standing up stronger for progressive policy initiatives in health care reform. So if there is anybody else who wants to accuse us of wearing white robes and hoods, just because we called our new president to account for veering too far to the RIGHT, there is a perfectly good PERMANENT remove link at the bottom of every alert, because we will CONTINUE to call them as we see them. Otherwise please read on, and speaking of which ... We Must Confront The Dangerous Trend Towards Violent Extremism In America Our friends at Velvet Revolution have an initiative to confront the rise of right wing hate speech and the real danger it represents. So we have created an action page to mirror their own action as follows: Stop Right Wing Terror: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1004.php Recently, there has been an explosion in threats and acts of domestic terrorism. The majority of these can be traced to groups and individuals who do not accept the results of our recent election or the laws enacted or proposed by those who have been elected. They seek to undermine the democratic process through threats, intimidation, and even outright murder. They can't accept the legitimacy of the President, or a woman's legal right to make choices about her own medical care, or an immigrant's right to be treated humanely under the law, so they carry out acts that are antithetical to American democracy, American values, and both civil and human rights. The fringe elements that makes up those who commit these acts of terror, are frequently exploited by a continuous wave of right wing media advocating violence, either directly or indirectly, by commentators amplifying the talking points of extremist religious leaders and extremist political leaders. The fringe is incited on our public airwaves, and urged to take matters into their own hands, with the underlying belief that the Bible and/or U.S. Constitution justify using "whatever means" are necessary to oppose what they believe to be immoral laws. Stop Right Wing Terror: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1004.php We ask you to take a stand against this dangerous trend towards the incitement of lawlessness and violence. We strongly believe in the First Amendment right of free expression and discourse, even when that expression is abhorrent or not in line with our own beliefs. However, the First Amendment does not protect debate where one side includes the threat or act of violence. The Department of Justice must 1) study this trend toward the encouragement of violent lawlessness and initiate action to counter it, 2) investigate and prosecute those who are committing and inciting others to commit acts of violence, 3) review whether any media groups are violating antitrust laws by monopolizing media or media markets, or failing in their obligation to meet the "public interest" of their FCC broadcast licenses, 4) support an update and study by the FCC and NTIA of the 1993 report, "The Role of Telecommunications in Hate Crimes.", And Congress must 1) conduct an investigation into the rise of extremism and violence and the role of the media in this phenomenon, 2) hold hearings on the responsibility of the licensed broadcast media to conduct itself in the public interest, 3) support legislation to require diversity in media ownership, encourage broader minority ownership of FCC licensed media outlets, and that otherwise reverses the dangerous trend of media monopolies allowed following the passage of Bill Clinton's Telecommunications Act of 1996. Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.
