It would seem that a few members of the NCGA is afraid of the voices of our teachers, so they want to limit those voices.

Senate Bill 480 would disallow school employees from working on political campaigns during working hours, use the authority of his or her position to secure support or opposition for a political candidate, and use public funds to these ends.

NC State Rep Mike Stone is a Bully, he doesn’t like the truth about him to be aired on College Radio..

A Lee County community college stopped airing a radio talk show this month after a state lawmaker took issue with an online post a radio host wrote criticizing the lawmaker.

A legislative assistant for State Rep. Mike Stone, wrote the president of Central Carolina Community College on April 3 asking what the school’s affiliation was with “The Rant,” a weekly radio show hosted by three former Sanford-area journalists on the college’s FM radio station WDCC, 90.5. Stone is a Sanford Republican serving his second term in the state legislature.

The show’s hosts don’t plan on fighting the suspension, but will move to an online podcast format to shield the community college from negative pressure from Stone or others.

Little Mike doesn’t like that people were talking bad about his sorry ass.. so what does he do, get the college radio shoe taken off air.. What a effing bully.

Read the Rant here,

I guess Mike doesn’t believe we should have the right to free speech..

REMEMBER THIS , IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO IS IN CHARGE, JUST ASK YOUR SELF THIS ONE QUESTION, WHO IS IT THAT YOU CAN’T CRITICIZE

"HBO filmmaker Josh Fox arrested at the February 1, 2012 House Science Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment fracking hearing (Source: House Science Committee Democratic Staff)." For more on the Republicans version of the First Amendment (corporations have unlimited "speech" rights, individuals have only those the corporate masters and their political puppets decide individuals should have), see here and here and here. Utterly pathetic.

Courtney urges Congress to scrap SOPA

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Joe Courtney today released the following statement urging Congress to scrap the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), and begin work on a new approach to addressing online piracy:

“Online piracy is a serious problem that must be addressed, but doing so should not muzzle free speech, stifle innovation or harm cybersecurity. SOPA as it exists today fails that standard, and it should be scrapped entirely. An axe instead of a scalpel, this bill would unacceptably and fundamentally change the architecture of the internet. The Judiciary Committee should start from scratch and craft a solution that ensures due process from a public entity that resolves infringement issues.

“Over the weekend, the White House urged content creators and internet platform providers to work together on voluntary measures that would reduce online piracy. That is a good start, but I encourage them to include consumers in the discussion as well. Over the past several weeks I have heard from thousands of constituents who are deeply concerned about the bill's approach and the speed at which this process is moving forward. Grassroots activists across the country voiced serious concern with SOPA. Ensuring that their voices are heard from square one will ensure that a viable approach to addressing online piracy emerges in the end.”
