Props to the House for passing H.R. 1147
which paves the way for more local community radio on the airwaves. WHEN the bill gets through Senate it will open the airwaves for hundreds of new non-commercial stations across the country. There are many local music lovers involved in the quest and we here at Radio Free New Hope are excited part of the movement. Thanks to the Prometheus Radio Project for all their hard work and spreading of the good word.

The House and Senate could pass the Local Community Radio Act at any moment — if we can just get it on the agenda for next week.

Take The Leap Now! Call your Representative’s office and ask to speak to the staff person who covers telecom issues. The LPFM Action Page will tell you where they stand on the bill. Then call your Senators too! We’re happy to answer questions at 215-727-9620.

Either by phone or on voicemail, tell the Congressional staffer something like:

“I am a constituent of [Politician X] and I am calling to urge him/her to support the Local Community Radio Act, HR1147 and S592, which expands the Low Power FM radio service, creating new opportunities for local media in our community. Can I count on [Politician X] to help get this bill passed?”

Even if your Representative or Senator supports the bill, your call will remind them to make sure our bill gets decided this week.

It only takes 5 minutes, so call now!

P.S. We know — after nine years, we can’t believe it, either. We’re pinching ourselves. But if we all make a final push to get low power radio its day in Congress, we may finally get this bill passed this week.
