[grc] Equal time for political candidates

[Michelle Bradley]

You are still risking that something will be said that can be seen as a 
political endorsement in violation of section 399 of the Communications 
Act, state non-profit laws and if 501(c), the IRS code.

Here in the NCE world (which includes LPFM), we have 399 looming over 
us.. commercial radio does not have this.

The potential candidate thinks that he is due equal time based on the Dj having a musical program where he doesn’t discuss politics.  Any ideas on how to proceed?
