> This is it! Both the House and Senate could vote on the Local

> it onto a crowded legislative agenda). The bill would expand low- 
> power FM community radio across the country, dramatically

> That means that now--Today--is the time for you to express your

> ask to speak to the staff person who covers telecom issues. The

> “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 will expand local radio choices, and create 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!
>
> Reclaim the Media, Prometheus Radio Project and other groups have  
> been working together for years to expand community radio, and we
