Congress Presses Clinton on Dr. Savage's U.K. Ban
Congress Presses Clinton on Dr. Savage's U.K. Ban
Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) has written Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Dr. Savage's behalf. The following is the letter sent.
Secretary Hillary Clinton
Department of State
2201 C Street, NW
Washington, DC 20520
Dear Secretary Clinton:
I urge you to use all diplomatic tools at your disposal to press the United Kingdom to remove Michael Savage from the list of individuals banned from the United Kingdom, and to ask the British government to grant him a travel visa as soon as possible. Dr. Savage’s rare plant specimens have been archived at Kew Gardens since 1969. They are a world-class collection of rare medicinal plant specimens from Fiji and Tonga. Dr. Savage needs to visit London for his scientific research, but he is unable to do so because of the Home Secretary’s travel ban. I strongly urge you to press the British government to lift these restrictions on him immediately.
The British Government has classified a well-known and popular member of the American media alongside criminals, murderers and terrorists, which is defamatory and disturbing. Michael Savage is a loyal American, and he is passionate about protecting America, which is why I enjoy listening to him. He speaks for most Americans when he criticizes people who apologize for our success and who will not protect our borders, our common language, and our American culture. If he were at the fringe of society like the other people on the U.K. list, he would not have a nationally syndicated radio show, and he would not be the third most popular talk show host in America. I listen to Dr. Savage's radio show regularly, and I have never heard him encourage hatred or incite anyone to engage in violence.
The travel ban against Michael Savage demeans and diminishes Great Britain as a free and open society. The United Kingdom should immediately remove Dr. Savage's name from this list of criminals and terrorists, lift his travel ban, and grant him a visa to travel to Great Britain whenever he wishes. In the weeks ahead, I will be working with my colleagues in Congress to help protect Dr. Savage's First Amendment rights, and his ability to travel freely to Great Britain. I urge you to press our British friends to remove him from the Home Secretary’s list of banned individuals.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
John Culberson
Member of Congress
