For you commies who support low-power community radio, today is Call Your Congressperson and Plea for Low Power FM Day. Prometheus Radio is behind an effort to pass the Local Community Radio Act (HR 1247/S592), which could open the airwaves to tens of thousands of new community radio stations across the country. It only takes a minute or two:
- Look up your Congressional Representative at Congress.org
- Find out if they have already supported the Local Community Radio Act. See a list of cosponsors at govtrack.us and search for Bill number HR 1147.
- Call the Congressional Switchboard at: (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Representative's office.
* If your representative is not a cosponsor tell him/her to support expanding Low Power FM all across the country and cosponsor the bill.
* If your representative is a cosponsor ask him/her to reach out to Congressional Leadership to let them know that this is an important priority around the county.
