[Mpls] Minneapolis Television Network- Community Programming

[Barbara Lickness]

It's proof that the 1st Amendment is alive and well
and working in Minneapolis and at MTN. Public cable
channels have to allow whoever wants to blast the
airwaves to do so. There are probably some rules
imposed by the FCC, not sure. 

My nephew married a girl from Italy last summer. She
is amazed at how free our press is to criticize our
government. In Italy, the government owns the
newspapers. The newsprint there is much different as a
result. 

While I certainly do not support this persons racism
and bigoted views, I support his right to say it.
Thank God for the channel changer. 

So I turned on Channel 11 this morning to find that
there are now republicans working to overturn the
conceal and carry law in Minnesota. It appears that
only 16,000 people applied for a gun permit instead of
the 75,000 they originally thought. Involved in this 
effort is former Governor Arne Carlson.  

Speaking of protecting our rights. It's caucus day.
See ya there.
