STOP THE RADIO TAX!!

We need to act now to defeat a proposed tax that could kill your local radio stations!!

THE ISSUE:

For more than 80 years, radio and the recording industry have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship: free play for free promotion. And it works. The recording industry now wants to impose a fee – a performance tax – on local radio stations.

There's no question that a performance tax would financially hurt local radio stations, stifle new artists and harm the listening public who rely on free local radio. Many members of Congress
already support local radio and resolutions against the performance tax. Others still need to hear your voice.

Act NOW! Go to www.noperformancetax.org and get involved!! Thank you!
