Is it possible, even likely, that Mr. Bilirakis is prejudiced against an outspoken judicial reform activist such as Lonnie Kobres?

Notable Bilirakis quotes:

• "My position all along has been against big government, against government coming into the picture and taking people's freedom's away from them."  (St. Petersburg Times, Monday, February 9, 1998)

Congressional Hearings on the Telecommunications Act of  1996:

• "I have other concerns, including the potential of the bill to concentrate media ownership in a few hands and the bill's effects on radio and television broadcasting audience reach limits." (Statement on the floor of the House of Representatives - August 2, 1995)

Below: A radical reversal of position - perhaps after sufficient campaign contributions from big media?:

• "Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the landmark legislation which we are considering today.  S. 652 (Telecom Act of '96) is the culmination of years of work to overhaul Federal telecommunications policy and position America as a world leader in the dawning information age." (Statement on the floor of the House of Representatives - February 1, 1996)

Written instructions given to Mr. Phil Kempin, a Lutz Community Radio Supporter:

• "The enclosed Privacy Act form should be completed, signed by Lonnie Kobres and returned to my office in Land O' Lakes at the earliest possible time.  Then we will be glad to initiate a Congressional Inquiry" (April 4, 1997, letter, regarding the first armed assault on Lutz Community Radio of March 7, 1996)

The Privacy Act form was completed and returned to Mr. Bilirakis.  He refused to fulfill his promise and inquire of the Federal government why it had attacked a tiny community radio station.  Instead, he effectively joined the government's conspiracy against Lutz Community Radio by virtue of his complete silence on the matter.

Does Mr. Bilirakis speak with Forked Tongue or what !
