Ken Freedman The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate ReleaseMay 04, 2017 Presidential Executive Order Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty EXECUTIVE ORDER - - - - - - - PROMOTING FREE SPEECH AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, in order to guide the executive branch in formulating and implementing policies with implications for the religious liberty of persons and organizations in America, and to further compliance with the Constitution and with applicable statutes and Presidential Directives, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Policy. It shall be the policy of the executive branch to vigorously enforce Federal law's robust protections for religious freedom. The Founders envisioned a Nation in which religious voices and views were integral to a vibrant public square, and in which religious people and institutions were free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or retaliation by the Federal Government. For that reason, the United States Constitution enshrines and protects the fundamental right to religious liberty as Americans' first freedom. Federal law protects the freedom of Americans and their organizations to exercise religion and participate fully in civic life without undue interference by the Federal Government. The executive branch will honor and enforce those protections. Sec. 2. Respecting Religious and Political Speech. All executive departments and agencies (agencies) shall, to the greatest extent practicable and to the extent permitted by law, respect and protect the freedom of persons and organizations to engage in religious and political speech. In particular, the Secretary of the Treasury shall ensure, to the extent permitted by law, that the Department of the Treasury does not take any adverse action against any individual, house of worship, or other religious organization on the basis that such individual or organization speaks or has spoken about moral or political issues from a religious perspective, where speech of similar character has, consistent with law, not ordinarily been treated as participation or intervention in a political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) a candidate for public office by the Department of the Treasury. As used in this section, the term "adverse action" means the imposition of any tax or tax penalty; the delay or denial of tax-exempt status; the disallowance of tax deductions for contributions made to entities exempted from taxation under section 501(c)(3) of title 26, United States Code; or any other action that makes unavailable or denies any tax deduction, exemption, credit, or benefit. Sec. 3. Conscience Protections with Respect to Preventive-Care Mandate. The Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Labor, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall consider issuing amended regulations, consistent with applicable law, to address conscience-based objections to the preventive-care mandate promulgated under section 300gg-13(a)(4) of title 42, United States Code. Sec. 4. Religious Liberty Guidance. In order to guide all agencies in complying with relevant Federal law, the Attorney General shall, as appropriate, issue guidance interpreting religious liberty protections in Federal law. Sec. 5. Severability. If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any individual or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of its other provisions to any other individuals or circumstances shall not be affected thereby. Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect: (i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals. (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations. (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Section 399 of the Communications Act prohibits "public" (NCE/LPFM) broadcast stations for endorsing for or against any candidate for public office. That law still stands. It will take an act of Congress to change it. So for now, NCE/LPFM stations can still not endorse candidates *over the air*. Whether you can do so on your website or other places is a different story. In my opinion, the "executive order" was just a "feel-good" for Trump's base and to distract attention away from the health care vote that took place the same day. =m On 5/6/2017 3:15 PM, Ken Freedman via grc wrote: > Pasting it below.

The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of a private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself.

We have been streaming for the past several months, as well as broadcasting since January 29. We are using Winamp and have experienced fairly continuous problems with freezing and garbling and speeding up. We are in the station for several hours in the weekday mornings and most evenings. Often, when programmers arrive, Winamp is frozen. We usually can reboot and get it started, but it seems to be freezing more and more often and at present, will not allow CDs and the mic to play through it. Do we need to abandon Winamp for a more stable system? What system would that be? Is Rivendell a good option? What are the pluses and minuses? Naturally, we are a very low budget operation and just as we are readying a campaign for underwriters, Winamp is becoming less stable, making sales pitches pretty difficult. Any words of advice are greatly appreciated.

But, Winamp is a MP3 player, not a radio automation system. I would strongly suggest considering running Rivendell. Rivendell runs under Linux and may have a few challenges to install but once it is going, it is rock solid. Rivendell is free and there's quite a few of us on this list who are running it. If we do get a Grassroots Radio Conference this year (which will likely be on the east coast), I would strongly suggest attending. We normally have workshops on Rivendell. =m On 5/10/2017 4:26 PM, Ellen Stewart via grc wrote: > We are a new LPFM located in Sonora California.

In general, if you are having trouble with computers freezing requiring a reboot, it's usually a hardware problem. It might be a bad hard drive. Just one bad bit can cause a problem like this. It might be overheating. It might have a bad fan that is runnning slow, or maybe there is dust on the CPU heat sink that is making it run hotter than it should. You say "very low budget" .. is this a donated computer? Sometimes wiping it clean (both in a hardware and software sense) and reinstalling fixes the problem, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes seems to fix the problem, but really it defers the problem until you can do something better. Sometimes trying to reinstall shows off how bad the computer is, by failing during install. As Michi sez .... at the Grassroots Radio Conference, there are sessions on things like Rivendell, and even how to make the best of not-so-great equipment. This year it will be in Albany, NY, Sep 29 - Oct 2, hosted by WCAA-LP.

In our experience, there is no way to schedule or order your content in it. No matter what you do to load the shows in order, Winamp randomizes them. We devoted a lot of expertise and man-hours to the problem. We now are using New Wave which came free when we bought our Arrakis Arc-8. Not that it is great or trouble-free. But as an interim solution it was relatively fast and easy to get into. We wanted to go the Rivendell route and bought a good system with it preloaded, but the program director decided ultimately that programming it from scratch was going to take more weeks and hours than we felt we had to get it up and going, build a decent product and listening audience, and be able to bring in underwriting and community support. As a new community radio station with very few with any previous radio experience or in Linux programming, we didn?t have the human resources to make Rivendell a good choice at the time.

Would suggest cleaning gold contacts on your memory modules. Winamp has a powerful command-line programming plugin called CLAMP.EXE. ?It allows automating Winamp commands by using Unix/Linux shell scripts. Using Clamp in scripts, one can implement many of the automation features that services like Airtime Pro, for example, provide.

But, Winamp is a MP3 player, not a radio automation system. I would strongly suggest considering running Rivendell. Rivendell runs under Linux and may have a few challenges to install but once it is going, it is rock solid. Rivendell is free and there's quite a few of us on this list who are running it. If we do get a Grassroots Radio Conference this year (which will likely be on the east coast), I would strongly suggest attending. We normally have workshops on Rivendell. =m On 5/10/2017 4:26 PM, Ellen Stewart via grc wrote: > We are a new LPFM located in Sonora California.

The gatherings entitled "The Future of First Nations, Inuit and M?tis Broadcasting" aim to bring practitioners, policy makers and academics together as allies to prepare a context for respectful and meaningful consultation. The idea is to create or identify the terms of reference for the CRTC deliberations to ensure that any policy changes support the development goals that Indigenous media activists, broadcasters, and community members themselves identify. The national event in Ottawa will continue the conversation by sharing the outcomes from five regional events, over forty presentations, and keynote speeches by MP Romeo Saganash (Abitibi-Baie James-Nunavik-Eeyou) and Ryan McMahon (Makoons Media Group). This gathering seeks to share decision making power with the people, and to assert Indigenous rights to media democracy 'for as long as the waters flow'. NATIONAL EVENT DETAILS: http://indigenousradio.ca/Ottawa.php WHERE: University of Ottawa, Alex Trebek Alumni Bldg (157 S?raphin-Marion Private) in Johnson Hall (Room 116) WHEN: Thursday, June 15, to Saturday, June 17, 2017 PROGRAM: https://t.co/RlYpJsmM1R REGISTRATION: https://goo.gl/forms/su7gc8Ha0B32LyL43 Sessions will also focus on the CRTC Native Broadcasting Policy ( http://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1990/PB90-89.htm) and the process for the upcoming policy review. Participants are invited to comment on the following questions: -How would you like the CRTC consultation process to be conducted? -How should the review process itself be changed? -What should the policy entail? -What are the elements to include or exclude? -What changes would be required to the Broadcasting Act, 1991, to ensure the policy is upheld? To continue the conversation, we invite you to review the conference archives from the gatherings in Winnipeg, Iqaluit, Edmonton, Homalco First Nation, and Halifax: http://indigenousradio.ca/Conference-Archives.php In preparation for The Future of First Nations, Inuit, and M?tis Broadcasting national conference in Ottawa, we acknowledge these events are proposed to take place on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg people.

We are still in the window ? so perhaps a poll of the list to see if anyone is ill-affected might make sense as quick action can probably ameliorate any such problem. Also, Southwest is one of the most frequent flyers into Albany, and it always allows full credit for cancelled flight that can be used on another date within a year. Amtrak services (Chicago, NY, Montreal, Boston) are similarly usable on another day. Just a thought?. Michael W.
