I'm kc8gpd and i approve this message 😉
It's like fresh air to be rid of the impolite political messages.
But here's an idea for part 15 stations during non-election periods...
Get the incumbants to buy air time to brag about what a great job they are doing.
This will invest in their image for the next elections.
next election (2016) i will have somone make me some get out the vote psa's and i will start running them 2 month before election day.
remember as station owners we have to be non partisan on the air. at least that is the way it used to be.
The "Fairness Doctrine" bit the dust in 1987.
That pesky concept of Free Speech did it in.
Just enough details here:

I'm not sure what the Fairness Doctrine, if it returned, would have to say about potty mouth radio like we hear sometimes.
I have talked about 1380 kHz AM in nearby decanonized Louis Misoouri, which went from total sports to "The Woman," a format that floundered because the women involved lost the will to broadcast.
Back to sports 24/7, alternating with being totally off the air much of the time.
Now they are back on daytimes with a room full of middle-schoolers talking and laughing about chunky vomit, getting so drunk so as to do no. 1 in the bed, and question whether lesbians have periods.
I know, that sounds out of place here on this license free radio forum, but that's what they said.
Most nights they shut down even though they are licensed for nighttime.
I have never met an indecent part 15 station.
This morning at 6:15 I listened to 1380 kHz, transmitter off, THEIR transmitter, not mine. I could hear about 20 stations way off in the distance until one of them lifted higher than the others...
It was WLRM, Millington, Tennessee, near Memphis, 2.5 kW day 1 kW night.
That radio noise when no local carrier is turned on is more pleasant than morning drive shows, so I kept it going.
At 6:45 AM local 1380 turned their transmitter on and some kid was mid-sentence as if he's been talking the whole time and had just forgotten to turn the transmitter on.
