Virginia TV Station Rejects GOP Cap & Trade Ad

"Under my plan of a cap & trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."

A Roanoke-based television station has refused to run an ad targeting Rep. Tom Perriello, the station’s president and manager said Thursday.

Jeffrey Marks, of WDBJ Television Inc., did not comment on the reasons behind the station’s decision not to run the ad, but confirmed it would not run.

“I don’t characterize why an advertiser is or is not running on our air,” Marks said.

The wonder is, that you think YOU should prevail.

You don’t know who you are dealing with!

Nebuchadnezzar slaughtered many of God’s people. Carried them away captive to Babylon.

God called him, “my servant!” “Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant”-Jeremiah 27:6

Shall MEANS shall, folks!

2Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

FIND OUT WHOM IT IS YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH, OR REMAIN DECEIVED

YOUR CHOICE

Tom doesn’t care. I tried contacting him prior to the vote and found it nearly impossible. The link to contact him via his house web page was redirected to the newsletter sign up page (since corrected), and all of his phone lines where sent directly to voice mail all with full mailboxes. I doubt it would matter though since all contacts to his office get the same reply –

“Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts on the important issues facing the district and our nation.
Representing Virginia’s 5th district is an honor that I take very seriously. I look forward to giving you a detailed response to the specific issues you have raised in your email, and I apologize for any delays. If you have a scheduling request or other urgent matter to bring to my attention, please contact my office at (202) 225-4711.”

Remember, Tom told us he read the stimulus bill before voting for it (he couldn’t have) then was outraged when AIG execs were getting bonuses. Sounds like he didn’t really read it. I knew not to trust him when back when he debated Virgil Goode and I trust him less on every vote. Now with tv execs deciding what views get air and which don’t is it any wonder why our “representatives” don’t listen?

LA RAZA'S ROLE IN REFORM...   July 3rd, 2009 - 6:50 pm

La Raza Demands Obama’s Health Reform Plan Cover Illegal Aliens

On Monday, June 15, the National Council of La Raza (La Raza), an open borders advocacy group, issued a statement calling upon Congress to ensure that illegal aliens are given health benefits if and when Congress considers health care reform.

La Raza’s statement “strongly urge[d] President Obama and Congress to make every effort to ensure that health care reform reaches all communities” in the United States, and stressed that “one out of every three uninsured persons and roughly 40% of all uninsured children [in the United States] are Latino,” and demanded “health care reform that makes coverage affordable and accessible for everyone — all families and all children.”

Well, Virgninia patriots, it looks like you can put one more thing on the agenda when you call your Senators offices starting Monday!

It sounds to me like this station is in bed with Bilderberg Bush-Obama and the Democratzi and is practicing removing “freedom of speech” from the opposition like the new “state run network” ABC (the new Pravda in America)!

Long live the comrades who side with the first Kenyan/Muslim President…Bilderberg Bush-Obama and his biased media showing signs of taking down freedom of speech!

Call, Virginians, and let your voices be heard loud and clear…we have had enough of this and we are not going to take it anymore!

1. usa.gov
2. at top – site index
3. at left – fed gov
4. in middle – legislative
5. in middle – senators on the web

And don’t forget to call that TV station and give them a piece of your mind. We have the power, America, you don’t have to watch that station…there are others more worthy and more American to watch than these biased “owned by Obama” media!

========================

JUST ANOTHER PATHETIC DAY IN THE ‘DICTATORSHIP’ OF BARRY HUSSEIN AND HIS ONE SIDED STATE RUN MEDIA…GROWING BY THE DAY! THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED…AND TURNED OFF BY VIRGINIANS!

Virgil Goode was one of the few genuinely conservative congressmen. You may remember his nationally covered strong stance to illegal immigration. Most of the population wanted him re-elected except for the area around Charlottesville, Va – the area of densist population for his district. This is a college town and there was a huge democrat influence in that town directed toward Obama and anyone else that clingled to Obama’s coattails. There is talk about students voting not only in their hometown districts and states, but also voting in this congressional district (ie, voter fraud). The contest was very very close and a few hundred instances of voter fraud probably swung the election.
Roanoke is a pretty conservative area, but WDBJ obviously doesn’t want the whole story about how this bill was rammed through to get to the uneducated public. This station has always been a 3rd rate station and by deferring to the Obama agenda, I hope that those southwest Virginia districts will soon get a clue.

Sounds like the FCC needs to jerk this stations ticket….

MORE BAD NEWS ABOUT CAP & TRADE/ENERGY BILL   July 5th, 2009 - 3:22 am

Here’s more cause for concern: Just heard on TV that the so-called Cap & Trade bill will make it a requirement to upgrade and “GREEN” your real estate properties before they can be sold!!!! This kind of cr@p will certainly put the final nail in the coffin of mortgage holders who are already under water or nearly so, who were hoping to sell their homes and somehow retrieve their lives and sanity amid all this craziness. WHERE the hell will they get the $$$$$ to do all this GREEN crap before they can put their property on the market??
