Dear Fellow American, The legacy of talk radio legends such as Rush Limbaugh is in danger. Broadcast radio is an integral part of our nation’s local infrastructure, and changing a successful payment formula which has been in place for more than sixty years threatens its viability. Some short-sighted people in the music industry are attempting to upend the current model for splitting advertising revenue between the broadcaster, record company, artist and song writer. This revenue splitting model provides direct compensation to the publishing companies and song writers as well as the massive indirect compensation to the record labels and performers. Talk radio is in grave danger. This will disproportionately affect conservatives. Please click below to tell Congress to save talk radio by supporting the Local Radio Freedom Act. |

Conservatives could lose a valuable source of providing information to the public. The left has taxpayer funded National Public Radio, which drives out the ability for liberal talk radio to thrive. The right and middle have for-profit broadcast radio. This is why we need your help. Please click here to send your emails now. All radio is dependent upon a financially healthy over the air music capability. Email Congress and urge them to support the Local Radio Freedom Act (HCR 33) and oppose the ironically named American Music Fairness Act (HR 4130) which would be more aptly titled, the Foreign Label Enrichment Act. Tell Congress to save talk radio now. Together, we can do this. Sincerely, Rick Manning President Americans for Limited Government |
