Hi, it's Tim one more time...

Disaster looms! Yesterday a federal court denied a plea to delay the massive
increase in rates webcasters must pay the record labels. This means that,
absent immediate Congressional action, the new ruinous royalty rates will be
going into effect on Monday threatening the future of all internet radio.
This is a very dire situation and I'm writing to ask one more time for your
support. The effort you've made over the past four months has been
extraordinary and has forced the rapid introduction of the bill, but the
committee process has been sluggish and we need to once again remind the
representatives of the urgency of this issue. This is perhaps the most
important phone call you can make for us.

Please call your Congressional representatives in the Senate and ask them to
force immediate action on the Internet Radio Equality Act and bring the bill
to a vote. It is critical that their phones begin ringing off the hook
starting early in the morning. If it's busy, please try again later.

Senator Saxby Chambliss: (202) 224-3521
Senator Johnny Isakson: (202) 224-3643

I'm sorry that we have to keep asking you for this - but it's our only
recourse. We are no match for the legal and legislative strength of the RIAA
and we need your help.
Thank you again.


Gratefully,
