Yep, just went there because of one sent to me saying -
Subject: REMOVAL OF JOYCE MEYER AND OTHER PASTORS FROM THE AIRWAVES!!
Removal of Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer,A.R.Bernard,TD Jakes and other pastors from the airwaves.
An organization has been granted a Federal Hearing on the same subject by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington , D.C. Their petition, Number 2493, would ultimately pave the way to stop the reading of the gospel of our Lord and Savior, on the airwaves of America . They got 287,000 signatures to back their stand! If this attempt is successful, all Sunday worship services being broadcast on the radio or by television will be stopped. This group is also campaigning to remove all Christmas programs and Christmas carols from public schools! You as a Christian can help!
etc.etc.etc. I respond with a link to snopes.
