STEVE VAUS, whose anthem "WE MUST TAKE AMERICA BACK" got him blacklisted by the recording industry 17 years ago, has re-recorded the song with updated lyrics for 2009 -- and, this time, he believes, nothing can silence his haunting and inspiratio nal track.

In 1992, Vaus signed a recording contract with RCA. The resulting CD was called " WE MUST TAKE AMERICA BACK ," and the song struck a chord with listeners.
The track rocketed onto the BILLBOARD TOP 100 CHART with a bullet, as they say. It was the most requested song at many radio stations coast-to-coast. Vaus' star was rising. He was immediately put out on a nationwide tour.
But, complaints from a handful of big-city radio stations about the conservative, patriotic nature of the song, prompted RCA, inexplicably and inconceivably, to pull the CD off the radio and out of stores. Vaus' tour was cancelled, days after it began. In fact, the week Vaus was dropped, the song was still climbing the charts. It was number 56 still with a bullet. RCA received thousands of phone calls from outraged listeners but they refused to reconsider and subsequently prohibited Vaus from re-recording or re-releasing the song for five years.
"Being gagged like that, I was devastated. Particularly because in the same timeframe the ACLU made headlines defending the rights of other recording artists to sing about killing cops and violent sexual acts. But they had no interest in defending my right to sing about God and country," said Vaus. "But now, with updated lyrics, that reflect my frustration and anger with where America is headed, the song is more relevant than ever. It is a rallying cry. And in this age of instant internet downloads and podcasts there’s no record company or radio station that can block it." (Emphasis mine- CS)
Vaus was nominated for Grammy Awards in 2007 & 2008 for his BUCK HOWDY family music cds CHICKENS and AROUND THE CAMPFIRE
Apparently the Liberal Fascists of the Clinton administration pulled out the stops to crush Mr. Vaus for daring to be patriotic... and conservative, going against the Far Left and the Clinton regime.
Can there be any doubt that the Obama Democratic administration will try to silence him this time? They're already abusing the power of the state apparatus to intimidate whomever dares to demand that the President prove his constitutional eligibility for being President, which he has NOT done...
Does anyone seriously doubt that the Far Left will use fascist tactics against those who dare speak out against them, despite such fascist tactics being unconstitutional and violative of peoples' civil rights?
Will the Obama Democratic regime act like the neo-Communist regime of Russia? Will they act like the Communist regime of Red China?
