Pro-Howard Stern petition to the FCC.


Howard Stern, American

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all radio hosts are created equal (Howard Stern's admission that he is "hung like a raisin" notwithstanding), that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Market Share.

The history of the present Federal Communications Commission is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over the airwaves, bringing with it a tyrant's notion of "decency."

To prove this, let the Facts be submitted to a candid world.

The FCC knows no bounds in its effort to interfere in the home entertainment of all Americans and means to plunder our HBO and ravage our satellite radio. Let it be known that this complaint is about much more than the abridged rights of one Howard Stern and rather means to condemn the current atmosphere of censure in which we find ourselves today living. Such an atmosphere is anathema to a free society, in which one has a right to give offense (as long as public safety is not imperiled) and one is free to disregard this speech or counter with an opposing viewpoint.
