Call Michigan Congressman Dr. Dan Benishek at 202-225-4735 to demand (nicely) that he grant Bobby Powell 10 minutes for an interview.
Dr. Dan Benishek
I have been asking Dr. Benishek for an interview for more than 2 years, but he keeps on ducking me. Whether in our home district, or here in Washington DC, Dr. Benishek refuses to meet with me to defend his support for the National Defense Authorization Act.
The NDAA is an unconstitutional attack on state's rights and individual liberties that allows the US military to arrest any person without a charge and hold them indefinitely without a trial or access to a lawyer. This absolutely treasonous law even allows the military to send a kidnapped US citizen to a foreign country where they would undoubtedly be tortured.
23 states, including Michigan, have nullified sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA, making it a crime for any employee of the state to cooperate with the black bagging of its citizens. In Michigan, state level Representatives and Senators voted unanimously to nullify the NDAA - UNANIMOUSLY, on both sides of the aisle - which should indicate to anyone how deadly serious this issue is, and how the People of the state of Michigan feel.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed that legislation into law two years ago, yet Representative Benishek continues to vote in favor of the NDAA. The People of Michigan demand to know why Dr. Benishek has turned his back on his constituents, consistently voting to allow the federal government to kidnap, indefinitely detain, and perform "extraordinary renditions" of US citizens to foreign countries where they would most likely be tortured.
For a man whose campaign slogan was, "Standing up for the
citizens of Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula," he sure has a funny way of showing it. As one of his constituents, and on behalf of the 5,000 TTiV subscribers who live in Dr. Benishek's district, an explanation for this betrayal is required.
So please, share this post on every social media platform you can so we can LIGHT UP HIS SWITCHBOARD, until Dr. Benishek agrees to an interview with The Truth Is Viral Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Bobby Powell to explain himself to his constituents and the American people.
Numbering close to one thousand, heavily armed demonstrators, some in wheelchairs and some in strollers, descended upon the Michigan State Capitol building in Lansing on Wednesday March 20th to draw a line in the sand, telling the Federal government in no uncertain terms that they would oppose any attempts to register or ban any type of currently legal firearm or accessory.
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the demonstrators were Republican and Democratic Members of the Michigan House of Representatives and Senators, county sheriffs from around the state of Michigan, and several gun rights organizations.
In this episode of The Truth Is Viral award-winning journalist and Second Amendment activist Jan Morgan rouses the passions of the crowd with her own obvious love of the Constitution and the values upon which the United States was founded.
The rest of the speakers, including a dozen Michigan legislators and author Doug Giles, the publisher of clashdaily.com, are featured in the segments listed below.

Make sure you write Stephan Marks via snail mail to express your displeasure over WBKB's refusal to cover this demonstration. I have searched high and low for an email address for Mr. Marks, of the Marks Radio Group, but he's a ghost. A call to one of his stations in Montana revealed that "Mr. Marks does not do email." Very strange indeed in this day and age.
Anyway, I can not do this without your help. The FCC describes slanting or distorting the news as a "heinous act," and I for one agree. The Truth Is Viral is the ONLY media outlet in Northeastern Michigan to cover the demonstration, and that's just wrong. When it comes to matters of such import, the people must be informed if they are to tell their legislators how to vote, and to let those legislators know when they aren't happy.
By denying their viewers the opportunity to learn about this demonstration, or even to report on it afterward - even threatening to file charges against me for bringing attention to it - WBKB has done a grave disservice to the people of Northeastern Michigan, and I won't rest until major changes are made.

Nearly a thousand heavily armed demonstrators, some in wheelchairs and some in strollers, descended upon the Michigan State Capitol building in Lansing on Wednesday March 20th to draw a line in the sand, telling the Federal government in no uncertain terms that they would oppose any attempts to register or ban any type of currently legal firearm or accessory.
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the demonstrators were Republican and Democratic Members of the Michigan House of Representatives and Senators, county sheriffs from around the state of Michigan, and several gun rights organizations.
In this episode of The Truth Is Viral the events organizers, spokesmen from Michigan Open Carry, the Michigan Coalition For Responsible Gun Owners, and a host of others took the stage, shoulder-to-shoulder with lawmakers and county sheriffs from around Michigan, to tell the Federal government that if they want to take the guns of the citizens of Michigan they are going to have to take them.

I have been walking around Alpena Michigan with a huge gun strapped to
my thigh for over a month now, distributing flyers to businesses and
passers-by promoting 2nd Amendment demonstrations in Michigan.
I've informed the local television station of when and where I would be
a couple of times. Trust me, in this tiny hamlet that is BIG news; but
WBKB TV11 is refusing to cover this story for political reasons. They
are so deep in the pockets of the Obama administration, they have
forgotten that they are required to publish legitimate news as a public
service.
So I have published the above Call to Action in an effort to force WBKB
to do their job. Aren't you also sick and tired of being lied to by the
news media? Here's your chance to take action and change that - at
least once. Call WBKB at the number listed below, and ask them why they
refuse to cover the 2nd Amendment protests taking place in Michigan.
While you have them on the phone, you can also ask why they haven't said
a word about "famous" crapper The Game's friends calling for my death
and the rape of my cancer-stricken wife just because of my personal
views on gun control and his blasphemous album art, the same view held
by most of WBKB's viewers.
They are going to say, "We can't report on just one side of the story."
I was a journalist before most of the employees at WBKB were even born,
and I can tell you right now that this excuse is just that; an excuse
that they give to uninformed, journalistic civilians, who don't know any
better. It's also a lie.
This not just someone's opinion, this is an open investigation at the
Sheriff's Office; that is news of public record. They can go down there and find the report
themselves, of course that would require somebody at the station to act
like a journalist, something that WBKB has had a problem with for a LONG time. It is actually the smallest network market in the United States, and WBKB is invariably staffed with recent graduates of broadcasting schools. I hope that these kids take a lesson here on how to report the news, as I have been in the game longer than most of them have been alive and I like to think that I know what I'm doing.
The detective assigned to this case has been doing a fine job with the
limited resources he has at his disposal. Please don't call the Alpena
County Sheriff's Office to complain that these scumbags haven't been
arrested yet because they really are doing all they can. It's the Feds
that are dragging their feet.
At the moment it is WBKB that is standing in the way of truth and
justice, and it is them to whom you should direct your questions and
displeasure. Please do be nice when you call though; nice but firm and
insistent. Let them know that you don't buy their excuses and that you
will be calling back to check on whether or not they have decided to
cover these stories; but please don't make any threats or anything like
that, it's totally unnecessary. We have legal means at our disposal that
will force WBKB to do the right thing.
The management at WBKB is utterly failing in their responsibility to
serve the public interest. No, I take that back, they aren't failing -
that would imply that they tried to do something in the first place -
they are REFUSING to do anything that might expose the loving, peaceful
message of anti-gun proponents; that my children and I should die, and
my wife should be raped.
To WBKB: You had better not stand in my way on this thing. You can
stand with me or you can oppose me, it's your choice. Just know that if
you choose the wrong side, if you stand with these anti-gun, wife
raping, murdering maggots and against me and the truth, I WILL become
the biggest pain in the ass that you have ever experienced. If you think
the phone calls are bad now, wait until I'm standing out in front of
the station with a 10-foot long banner that says "WBKB LIES TO YOU" for a
few hours a day.
Then one day soon WBKB is going to have its license renewal hearing.
Guess who's going to be in attendance to see you respond to my formal
complaint to the FCC?
I'm NOT going to let this go. The people in your viewing area are my
friends, my neighbors, and my family. I will not allow you to lie to
them, even when the lies come in the form of purposeful omission. I
guarantee you that sooner or later, WBKB is going to cover this story.
The only question is, how painful do you want that process to be? The phone calls will continue until you agree to cover these stories.
You want to find an opposing viewpoint, fine; but I WILL BE HEARD.
Dear reader, please tweet this video, directed @WBKB11, then share it on their Facebook wall as a response to one of their posts, and on their Youtube page as well (links below.) After you tweet
them and post on their wall, GIVE 'EM A CALL! Ask for Cher Allen, the
General Manager of the station. The number to the station is (989)
356-3434. Please be nice, but ask whoever you speak
with why they refuse to cover these stories. So far most people have
been put on indefinite hold. If you get disconnected, call back! Let's
show the good people at WBKB the meaning of the phrase "grassroots
activism."
The calls so far numbering in the hundreds are starting to work; WBKB
is beginning to crack. I got a call from a friend of mine in the Alpena
County Sheriff Department just as I was getting my wife to her chemo
session at the hospital this morning. "Bobby," my friend said, "WBKB
wants to file charges of harassment against you because of all of the
phone calls they have been getting about your show. I just wanted to
give you the heads up that the State Police are looking for you and
would like to talk to you about it."
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked. "Not as far as this department is
concerned," he replied. "We know who you are, what you are trying to do,
and we don't have any problem with it at all; but I don't think that
the State boys have figured you out yet."
Personally, I'm not worried. As far as I'm aware, I haven't done
anything but exercise my 1st Amendment right to free speech. I very
specifically asked my viewers to "Be nice. We have the
Law on our side, so there is no reason for any type of threats." I'm
anxiously awaiting to see what the basis is for a charge of ANY type to
be laid against me.
I have been extremely careful to follow the law to the letter thus far,
and I don't feel as if I have done anything wrong whatsoever. If,
however, I am arrested when I go to the State Police post, I welcome the
opportunity to have Dan Korobkin, staff attorney with the Michigan
ACLU, represent me as he has offered to do in the past. I have his
number in my wallet, right next to the card of a local bail bondsman. So
I am ready to take this to court if need be.
So please keep a good thought in your brain housing group for me, and
maybe keep a prayer on your lips. I am doing exactly what I feel is
right, and it makes no difference if the threats come from gangbangers,
anti-gun nuts, or the 4th Estate: I will NOT be silenced.
Until WBKB agrees to cover this story properly, KEEP POURING IT ON with
your phone calls, emails, and posts on their Facebook and Twitter
accounts, until I tell you otherwise; but remember: Please BE NICE. And share this Call to Action wherever you can.
