How to Take Action this ACTOBER! Are
you tired of hearing the same top 40 music? Are you disappointed that
you cannot find any local news coverage on your radio dial? Can you
imagine media as a tool for social justice organizing instead of an
outlet for misinformation and distraction?
Then now is the time to take action! It's easy as 1, 2, 3:
1) Call your Congressional Representative's office and ask to speak to
the staff person who covers telecom issues. (If you do not know who
your representative is, go to Govtrack.us, Free Press, or call the Prometheus office and we will help you through it: 215-727-9620)
2) Tell the telecom staffer, either over the phone or on their voice mail:
"I am a constituent of (Congressperson X) and I am calling to urge
him/her to support HR 1147, which expands the Low Power FM radio
service, creating opportunities for local community media outlets in
our district. The Local Community Radio Act is advancing rapidly, it
has been unanimously voted out of the Energy and Commerce Committee and
will come to a floor vote shortly. Can I count on Representative X's
vote in support of HR 1147?”
