“We NOW FIND OURSELVES IN A MODERN MCCARTY ERA, FAKING EXACTLY The TYPE OF HEVY-HANDED GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP OUR CONSTITATION RIGHTFULLY FORBIDS,“ SAID Anthony D. WHICH Organized The Letter. “The Silencking of Jimmy Kimmel and Jawboning of Media Outletts Through Lawsuits and Threats to Their Licenses Evoke Dark Memories of The 1950s. We Must Remember, How. Ultimately Disgraced and Neutralized Once Americans Mobilized and Stood Up to HIM.

Kimmel Was Suspended Following A Comment in His Monologue About Maga’s Reaction to the Murder of Charlie Kirk that Went Viral and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr Thoned AffILITA Against The Talk Show Hst. Carr’s Threat Was Followed by Affiliate Owners Nexstar and Sinclair Says they would preempt the show, which Spurred ABC to Suspend Kimmel “Indefinitely.”

The Move by the FCC and ABC has been follweded by widespread condemnation – Even Among Some Republican Leaders Such as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz – and Pledges to Boycott Disney and Its Subsidiaries.

Here is the Letter and the Full List of Names:

“We The People Must Never Acceptpt Government Threats to Our Freedom of Speech. Effrts by Leaders to Pressure Artists, Journalists, and Companies with the ate. LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY.

Last Week, Jimmy Kimmel Was Taken Off The Air After The Government Threatened A Private Company with Retaliation, Marking A Dark Moment for Freedom of Speech in Our Nation. In an atempt to Silence it Critics, Our Government Has Resorted to Threatening the Livelihoods of Journalists, Talk Show Hos, Artists, Creaties, and Entertertinars Across Across. This Runs Counter to the Values ​​Our Nation Was Built Upon, and Our Constitution Guarantees.

We Know This Moment Is Bigger than US and Our Industry. Teachers, Government Employees, Law Firms, Researchers, Universities, Students and So Many More Are Also Facing Direct Attacks on Their Freedom of Expression.

Regardless of Our Political Affiliation, or Whther wengage in Politics or not, we all love our Country. We Also Share The Belief That Our Voices Should Never Be Silenced by Those in Power – Because if It HapPens to One of Us, It Happy to All of Us.

This is the moment to defense free speech accounts. We Encouroge All Americans to Join US, ALONG with The ACLU, IN THE FIGHT TO DEFERE AND PRESERVE OUR Constitutionally Protected Rights. ”
