On April 3, 2007, Accuracy in Media asked the question, “Can Talk Radio Defeat Illegal Alien Amnesty?” Specifically, we asked: Can a gathering of radio talk-show hosts from around the country and meeting in Washington, D.C. prevent an illegal-alien amnesty bill from being passed? We will soon have the answer.
The upcoming Hold Their Feet to the Fire rally April 22-25, 2007, sponsored by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and San Diego talk-show host Roger Hedgecock, can demonstrate the power of talk radio. It can mobilize the American people against an amnesty program for illegal immigrants and change the course of history, safeguarding our sovereignty and security.
When Accuracy in Media first reported the upcoming rally, there were 33 radio talk-show hosts from around the country that were coming to D.C. to participate. However, these 33 radio talk-show hosts represented only 19 of 50 U.S. states, even though an amnesty plan for illegal aliens would impact Americans in every state. Since that time more talk-show hosts have agreed to participate. They are:
Dave Barger, WGMD, Rehoboth, DE
Roy Goshom, WGMD, Rehoboth, DE
Howie Carr, WRKO, Boston, MA
Joyce Kaufman, WFTL, Miami, FL
Steve Sommers, WLW, Cincinnati, OH
Adam McManus, KSLR, San Antonio, TX
Fred Flanagan, WKRS, Waukegan, WI
A few corrections also need to be made about hosts participating. Martha Zoller from WDUN is based out of Atlanta, not Gainesville, Georgia. Denys Schaefer and James Allman will be participating from KFTK, St. Louis. Phil Valentine can be heard on his home station WWTN in Nashville and is syndicated around the country, and Steve Gill’s home station is WLAC in Nashville, also syndicated around the country. For a full and up-to-date list of those hosts participating, visit the FAIR website here.
The additions of Howie Carr and Fred Flanagan represent stations in two new states previously not participating: Massachusetts and Wisconsin. But this still means that talk-show hosts in a majority of states around the country are not going to show up. No stations are represented from Washington, D.C. or Virginia, and big-name hosts like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Michael Reagan, and Rush Limbaugh have not indicated they will be attending.
It is troubling that no talk-radio stations from Virginia, so close to the nation’s capital, are participating in this event. Even if they can’t send a host, why not a reporter, producer or even the news director from the station? The following are all news/talk stations in Virginia alone that carry the Rush Limbaugh program:
WFNR, 710 AM, Blacksburg
WCHV, 1260 AM, Charlottesville (author’s note: I worked for this station)
WBTM, 1330 AM, Danville
WFVA, 1230 AM, Fredericksburg
WKCY, 1300 AM, Harrisonburg
WREL, 1450 AM, Lexington
WNIS, 790 AM, Norfolk
WESR, 1330 AM, Onley
WRVA, 1140 AM, Richmond
WFIR, 960 AM, Roanoke
WTZE, 1470 AM, Tazewell
WKCI, 970 AM, Waynesboro
WNDJ, 104.9 FM, White Stone
WINC, 1400 AM, Winchester
Even Bill O’Reilly, who has been on a campaign of late against Virginia Beach, Virginia, a “sanctuary city” for illegals,?after two teenage girls were killed by 22-year-old Alfredo Ramos, an illegal alien from Mexico?is on nine stations in Virginia, none of which has any plans to cover the rally. They are:
WFHG, 980 AM, Abingdon
WFHG, 92.7 FM, Abingdon
WINA, 1070 AM, Charlottesville (Author’s note: I worked for this station in college)
WTAR, 850 AM, Norfolk
WBRG, 1050 AM, Roanoke
WRIS, 1410 AM, Roanoke
WREL, 1450 AM, Roanoke/Lexington
WFNR, 100.7 FM, Roanoke, Lynchburg
WHEE, 1370 AM, Roanoke/Martinsville
Most stations listed include links to the station webpage. O’Reilly’s campaign against illegal immigration, including his identification of Virginia Beach as a “sanctuary city,” can be read in one of his blog entries from April 12, 2007 called “Immigration Anarchy.”
It is an affront to the public’s right to know that no radio stations in Virginia are participating in any way in this historic and critical event.

Call your local station and ask that they cover this historic rally for safe and secure borders.

Thx ! I was looking for this since a couple of days, and I seen your article …
Talk radios alone will not be able to accomplish much, even the recent so-called tea party only draws mockery from the media.

The deterioration of family values R4
Since World War 2 when women were encouraged to join the work force en mass, to replace the men who went to war and keep the economy and the war effort going.
There has been a deterioration of family values and a breakdown of the family unit, a trend where a mother was not at home to take care of her children, monitor their behavior, help with the homework and discipline when and where necessary.
The advancement in technology has harmed family values. The Media and Television has totally destroyed any comprehension of values in our society.
The lack of discipline and total disregard for authority and respect is clear to anyone who has watched the past 50 years and seen our society’s values deteriorate.
One example alone is that 50 years ago a teacher was happy to go to school to teach, a teacher was respected and looked up-to, a teacher could discipline. Today teachers fear for their lives they are petrified by their students, discipline is restricted both to teachers and parents alike.
This scenario caries on to other social interactions of society today, and the situation is getting worse and worse every year.
You will notice that many families who come from other countries have a very strong family values, tradition, good education, respect and the children excel in their studies. That is because they have not had the chance to be influenced by our overly liberal society.
The education of our children begins at home and continues in school – the parents and the school must take a proactive approach to teach our children values and respect.
In today’s society a teacher is not permitted to discipline a student, the teachers will be sued, not to mention that teachers fears for their safety.
Parents in today’s society are also restricted as to how to discipline their children; in many cases parents are getting sued. In many cases children would never dream of treating their parents with such disrespect 50 years ago. Today some parents are afraid of their own children.
Abuse has been and will be with society to eternity that does not give society the right to prohibit discipline; a few acts of abuse should not cause society to prohibit proper discipline.
When an individual or individuals utilize a vehicle to commit a crime cause the death of others, does society prohibit vehicles altogether, no, a vehicle is very important for our everyday life.
Well, the discipline of our children by parents and teachers is extremely important for our society and the preservation of humanity.
It seems that our society is so busy chasing the dollar, fame and glory, that anything goes all values goes out the window. We should be an example of honesty, integrity and respect to our children.
Are Americans patriotic and proud enough to defend, protect and bring family values back to America? Is America ready to fight for honesty integrity and justice in our society, eliminate corruption and fraud, waste and self serving programs?
Re-invigorate our economy and decrease our dependence on foreign economies and resources.
