do petitions actually work?

All they do is show popular suppor for/against a subject.  If the elected official wants to be elected again, he/she will listen if enough people speak out.  If you are libral, you are not smart enough to figure this out, so it probably won't work

Down boy, down!!!  Unfortunately, liberals and THEIR petitions are the ones helping to close down our wheeling spots.  Something to think about.

That page is the petition.  There is currenly no bill on this subject, yet.  However several in congress, including nancy ried (sp?), and some governers (one who's husband used to be CEO of air america) have spoken out in support of bringing it back (Reagan repealed the last one).

A couple of links to check it out:
http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed112807b.cfm
http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed070607a.cfm
http://www.heritage.org/Press/Events/ev100407b.cfm

There are more, and these are not new.  Bottom line is that the "fairness doctrine" will regulate what can be said on the radio.  People should be allowed to say what they want (as long as its not cussing or xxx) and people should be able to hear what they want.  it's called free market, capitalism, and free speach.  this would not regulate TV (which has many more left leaning news stations than right leaning ones).

It would be one of many steps to silence thoes who disagree w/ the current political regiem.
