Your Entertainment Now 
Thank you for having Gov. Sarah Palin on the show and the wives of Ramos and Campion. Best wishes on your new show.
Best wishes on your new show on Fox!
So far, Glenn has come out of the gate looking to win this time slot. His guests so far this week have included, Gov Sarah Palin, Gary Sinise, Rudy Guiliani, Ben Stein, the wives of Ramos and Compean, and Michelle Maulkin. Good luck Glenn. We need more common sense shows like you!
I never though I would see it, but Glenn Beck outreaches Bill O’Rilley in identifying problems with our government and society. Ms. Colter is a second best.
Hope his show does amazingly well, ratings wise. I always hoped he’d come to Fox News. WooT!
We have a blog which is called Foundations of Morality. It was written in the days of Abraham Lincoln but since it is public domain we have re-written it to apply to modern day life. You can find it at FoundationsOfMorality.com You were speaking about how our nation has gotten away from God and this addresses the issue very well.
Mr. Beck,
We want to thank you so very, very much for the stand for God you took on the program we watched on Saturday February 7, 2009.
