"Radio Row" to Showcase the Largest Gathering Ever of Radio Hosts Broadcasting Together Live as a Unified Voice Demanding Immigration Enforcement, Secure Borders and No Amnesty WASHINGTON, Aug. 30
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/-- FAIR Congressional Task
Force (FCTF) announces September 10 and 11 as the dates for its annual Hold
Their Feet to the Fire in Washington, D.C. Currently, 43 radio hosts are
confirmed to broadcast live from Radio Row, evidencing substantial growth of
this national yearly event. In spring of 2007, 35 radio talk hosts attended
Hold Their Feet to the Fire, representing millions of Americans opposed to the
Senate Amnesty Bill. That bill was ultimately defeated, due, in large part, to
the efforts of talk radio.
This year, talk hosts from across the country led by Roger Hedgecock of
KOGO-AM in San Diego and Lou Dobbs of United Stations Radio Network and CNN,
will broadcast live for two days on Capitol Hill to counteract the special
interests attempting to set an amnesty agenda for the new Congress and the
next Administration. "Talk radio will represent American interests in our
Nation's Capital at a critical time and provide people all across the country
an opportunity to make their voices heard on immigration. And as immigration
is a critical national security issue, Hold Their Feet to the Fire will
coincide with the seventh anniversary of 9/11," said Roger Hedgecock of KOGO-
AM radio.
"Powerful special interests are now in full force pushing for amnesty and
foreign guest workers with no regard to the plight of the American worker,
wages, or a deteriorating economy," said Dan Stein, President of the FCTF.
"The politicians aren't talking about it. Radio talk hosts representing
millions of listeners will, and their collective voice is a voice that roars."
Talk hosts will broadcast live to millions of listeners across the country
asking hard questions, debating issues and demanding immigration reform.
Congressional guests, activists, high profile media personalities, and
immigration experts will be in attendance and available throughout the event
for wall-to-wall interviews.
