Talk show host Juan Williams was fired from National Public Radio (NPR)  for comments about having a “moment of anxiety" when he sees a person in Muslim garb in the airport. He then went on to defend Muslims on the "O'Reilly Factor" and reiterated his views that the term "Muslim Extremists" should be used to clarify that is was extremists that attacked us on 9-11.

Despite his left-leaning views, NPR claimed that Mr. Williams was "insensitive" in his comments. Since NPR gets over half of its funding from the American taxpayers, I submit that an organization that is publicly funded should not deny opposing free speech that is guaranteed to us by the US Constitution.

NPR would have every right to submit a liberal viewpoint and silence those who disagree with them if they were a privately-owned company, but since they are funded by our tax dollars they should be held accountable for their attempts to silence all opposition. Please join my movement to cut off government funding to this organization and defend our right to free speech. It is our greatest privilege to allow our voice to be heard no matter what your ideology.
