Hello Low Power Radio Fans!
The Prometheus Radio Project is collaborating with dozens of economic, social, and media justice groups to take action to all summer long to pass the Local Community Radio Act (HR 1147/S592). Here is an overview of how you can take action:
1) Join people from across the country on MONDAY JULY 20, 2009 to tell Congress to open up the airwaves by passing the Local Community Radio Act.
The Local Community Radio Act HR 1147 would expand Low Power FM radio stations and open the airwaves up to potentially tens of thousands of new community radio stations across the country.
Steps for Taking Action:
1. Look up your Congressional Representative at Congress.org
2. 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.
3. 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.
