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.
