Dear Senator:

I am writing today to ask you to oppose the creation of a new Tax on Radio in the form of a performance fee that will be forced on local radio stations if H.R. 848/S. 379 were to become law.H.R. 848/S. 379 would lead to disastrous consequences for the radio industry and would force many radio stations out of business, result in job loss and less diversity on the air. There is no greater threat to the viability of local free over-the-air radio than this proposed tax.

A new intellectual property right for the record labels, most of which are foreign owned, amounts to a tax on local radio that could be the difference between radio’s future success or failure.

In addition, I ask that you immediately cosponsor SCR 14, “The Local Radio Freedom Act” to take a stand now for local radio stations in your state. This action could ultimately be the difference between survival and extinction for many local radio stations.

Thank you for your consideration.
