call your senators and reps today

(originally posted by Bryan Jay at WOXY.com)

Grim news from the SaveNetRadio coalition today:

Yesterday, the U.S. Court of Appeals DENIED the emergency stay sought on behalf of webcasters, millions of listeners and the artists and music they support.

UNLESS CONGRESS ACTS BY JULY 15th, it's going to be the end of the road for Internet radio as you know it.

We are appealing to the millions of Internet radio listeners out there, the webcasters they support and the artists and labels to rise up and make your voices heard before this vibrant medium is silenced.

This situation is grave, but that makes the message all the simpler and most serious. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES TODAY and urge them to support the "Internet Radio Equality Act." If they've already co-sponsored, thank them and tell them to fight to bring it to the floor for an immediate vote. If the line is busy, call back. Call until you know your voice has been heard. Your voices are what have gotten us this far -- Congress has listened. Now, they are the only hope.

We are outmatched by lobbying power and money but we are NOT outmatched by facts and passion and the power of our voices.
