Sarah Palin Supports the Local Community Radio Act for Iowa
Sorry, we have no idea if Sarah Palin has ever even heard of the Local Community Radio Act - our title today serves as a comment on the broken media's obsession with Sarah Palin, and could also be viewed as a shameless manipulation on our part to get you to click on Blog for Iowa and read about a really good thing for people that is happening in Congress right now,  the Local Community Radio Act, that continues to move quickly through Congress! 

Today, November 19 at 10 AM, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation will vote on the bill (S.592). Building on the unanimous passage out of the Energy & Commerce Committee in the House of Representatives, this progress in the Senate is the next step towards passage. Help us win this important victory for community media! For more information about the campaign and to sign up for email alerts, check out: expandlpfm.org. 

Thanks to Congressmen Dave Loebsack, Leonard Boswell, Bruce Braley, and Tom Latham for supporting this legislation.
