Thank you once again for your support of Live365 and the SaveNetRadio campaign. Thanks to the hundreds of thousands of letters and calls that you and other broadcasters have sent, the Internet Radio Equality Act (H.R. 2060 in the House and S. 1353 in the Senate) has been cosponsored by 140 Representatives and 5 Senators.
The amazing outpouring of support and Congressional pressure has forced all sides to the table to negotiate. However, these negotiations are proceeding at a much slower pace than anyone had hoped. We are at a critical juncture and Internet radio once again needs your help to survive.We are reaching out to you and other Live365 broadcasters in Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, and Wisconsin to urge your Senators to cosponsor the Internet Radio Equality Act, S. 1353.
As powerful heads of legislative committees, your Senators could lend their support for these bills and provide an impetus for SoundExchange to negotiate lower and more equitable rates for Internet radio.Please take a moment to visit SaveNetRadio.org to find the phone numbers for your Senators and make two calls today.
Even if you have already called these offices once, please take the time and call again to ensure your voice is heard. If you have friends or family in your state who support Internet radio, please ask them to call as well.By taking a couple of minutes to place this phone call, you can help put pressure on the heads of these committees and contribute significantly in the effort to keep Internet radio alive.
Your opinion matters to your Senators, and it matters to us. Without your support these bills would never have been introduced, and without the bills we would not have such a strong negotiating position. Please visit SaveNetRadio.org to continue following the fight to save Internet radio. Thank you,Jason StoddardDirector, Broadcasting
