What everyone should know about corporate broadcast companies:

They pad the wallets of politicians to keep the "status quo".

They are using millions of dollars to prevent access to the airwaves for the public, community, educational and non-profit organizations.

They are the reason that the political wars are fought in 60 second ad's, and whoever has the most money wins.

They are the reason you only see what they want you to see on the news.

They bring in millions of dollars for advertising, but can't pay their workers living wages.

They are what is wrong with America today.

They lobby for new ways to keep the airwaves and media vacant of community and public service, it's not lucrative enough to serve the publics interest for community programming.

They are decieving and manipulative in their approach to media domination.

Only a few extremely RICH people control the majority of the entertainment, news, and other media programming that affects our daily lives. These few people use their wealth to push their anti-freedom agenda's through congress. You should know if your Representatives and Senators are enemies of free speech. The NAB is spreading blatant lies with the intent to block upcoming licensing that will allow for low power community oriented radio stations. The broadcasters are in a huge tizzy over this as it threatens their plot for media domination which impacts their bottom line. These LPFM stations won't be part of the corporate radio collective, and therefore are seen as threats. These are facts, anyone can look up exactly what kind of game the NAB is playing with the public. Your local radio market has undoubtedly seen some changes over the past 5 years, format changes, consolodation, promoting similar formats in adjacent markets, your favorite local dj's getting canned, no personal interaction, rarely if at all community service programming, and fewer choices of what to listen to. What started it all? The Telecommunications Act of 1996. This allowed for deregulation of the broadcast industry. For the most part it gave large corporations carte blanche to start throwing their money around and monopolizing radio markets. What if you only had three or four automobile companies to choose from, and they all pretty much operated the same way, sweat shop type labor, lack of concern for quality of product, only concerned with how much they can sell it for. Take a history lesson from the Railroad industry, the "Big Four",.... this is not how broadcast was supposed to be. Because of the corporate broadcasters being in bed with our lawmakers, whom WE ELECT, the public is getting dupped, and no one realises it. Until you have seen the ugly underbelly of the corporate broadcast world, people are oblivious to the long term and immediate damage the corporate broadcasters are causing the American public. It's sick, and until more people begin to peel back the scaley skin of these snakes, it will continue and become our worst nightmare. They will do everything in their power to be in control of how our life is influenced by the media. It's up to us to support the candidates that stand up for our freedoms and rights and vote out those who are being bought off by the NAB. It's time for this game to stop. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE, it's infront of you right now.

National LPFM Applicants Committee has some more excellent information and resources relative to this issue. Local public programming is essential to our communities and LPFM can provide you with enriching and entertaining programming. There are wonderful analogies that put this situation in perspective, and allows for you to truely grasp the importance of this. You need to act NOW and tell your congressional representatives that it is important to YOU to have the opportunity to benefit from community oriented programming through Low Power FM radio stations. Tell them to support the FCC's Low Power FM Radio Service in the fight to give the public a chance to regain access to the airwaves. Support your local Low Power broadcasters, they need your help more now than ever before!

The ANTI-FREEDOM coalition known as the NAB has a listing of the representatives who have voted to take the airwaves away from the public.

BAN the NAB..... send a message to the fat cats in Washington who are getting paid to keep you from access to the public airwaves.
