Anti-Bush despite my dream in which I was Laura Bush and loved George and was so grateful to him for making me the First Lady that - although I knew he was really doing a bad job - I decided I was going to work for his re-election because being the First Lady was so much fun and I sure didn't want to give it up...

Support Low Power Community Radio

We need a media revolution in this country so voices other than Fox can be heard talking about something more meaningful than the latest celebrity fashions.

We could have one if we continue to grow low power community radio.

But it's at a dangerous junction. Note this from The Free Press:

"In 2000, the FCC opened up the nation's airwaves to low power community radio stations. Since then, more than 675 local stations have gone on the air in 50 states, forming the national backbone for community broadcasting."

"Now, local radio (LPFM) needs your help to survive and grow. The FCC is considering critical new measures that would prevent commercial stations from pushing our community broadcasters off the dial. Before the FCC decides, they need to hear from you."

Tell the FCC to support low power community radio

You can also support local radio by participating in the Grassroots Radio Conference in Northampton, Massachusetts on August 4-7, 2005. Grassroots radio organizers and friends are gathering in Northampton to help build and launch the new Valley Free Radio (WXOJ-LP). To learn more about the Grassroots Radio Conference, visit conference organizers Prometheus Radio.
