Dead Last's blog: "Inner Ramblings"

After spending enough time in the mumms or on newsrag, it's becone abundantly apparent that most complaints come from people that fail to write to their representatives to voice their opinion.

I do not care about politics.  I write to Congressman Bartlett and Senator Mikulski on a semi obnoxious basis with some gripe I come up with.  (Remember folks, these are the representatives from MY area.  Look your own up, it's easy.  You're on the internet.  Maaaagic.)

But anyone that hasn't heard that can't find their congressperson/senator on this page

www.nab.org  (look in the news room), would do well to write to their representatives about this. 

Here, research yourself if you haven't done so.  www.noperformancetax.org/issue.asp

I'd like to tell you to be lazy and sign some online petition, but really, sending personal info to special interest petition groups can be hazardous to your inbox when something else starts irritating said group.   Take the time to actually contact your congressperson or senator.  It's easy to do, it GIVES YOU A VOICE.  

I'm not pushing anything.  I don't make up people's minds.  Not enough think for themselves.  But if you've been touched by music, or know the reason a memory was brought back by a few chords on the radio, you'd do well to look this up.  Educate yourself. 

Music has saved my life.  If not for my local radio stations, I'd have forgotten songs that made me feel less stoic.  If not for local radio stations, I'd not have spent well over a grand on iTunes.  If not for local radio stations, my ride to and from anywhere I go would be miserable. 

It's somewhat old news.  But one link above should offer links to both sides. So if you haven't heard, but you care about your local station and the people there you've come to "know" and the tunes you rely on like so many others, do yourself a favor and check it out.

You're already on the internet.
