Dear Senator _______________:

I am contacting you to urge your cosponsorship of S. 1353, the Senate
version of H.R. 2060 - the Internet Radio Equality Act, introduced by
Senators Ron Wyden and Sam Brownback.  This legislation nullifies a
recent decision by the Copyright Royalty Board that threatens the
viability of music webcasting.  Unless addressed by Congress, the CRB's
March 2, 2007 decision will dramatically curtail WKSU's use of the web
to provide listeners throughout Northeast Ohio and across the country
access to quality public radio programming, including the station's
award-winning folk and classical music broadcasts.  

The CRB's action ignores WKSU's public service mission and obligations
to bring programmatic diversity to the web and be a reliable source of
cultural programming for Americans while saddling the station with
inappropriate financial requirements created with a commercial broadcast
model in mind.  Our regional (and national) community of web listeners
needs you to support S. 1353.

Please back S. 1353.  I look forward to hearing that you have supported
WKSU's webcasting efforts by cosponsoring this legislation.

Sincerely,
