Four additional House members and three more U.S. Senators have added their support to the Local Radio Freedom Act, a bipartisan resolution opposing the record label-led effort to levy a performance tax on local radio stations for music aired free to listeners. The Local Radio Freedom Act is now supported by a bipartisan group of 244 House members and 23 U.S. Senators.

Reps. Bobby Rush (IL-01), John Adler (NJ-03), Dana Rohrabacher (CA-46), Steve Scalise (LA-01) and Sens. Susan Collins (ME), Thad Cochran (MS), and Johnny Isakson (GA) are the latest lawmakers to join a growing chorus of bipartisan congressional opposition to performance tax legislation supported by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

"Liberals, moderates and conservatives are uniting in opposition to RIAA's effort to line the coffers of foreign record labels at the expense of America's free and local radio stations," said NAB Executive Vice President Dennis Wharton. "We salute these members of Congress for recognizing the unique role played by radio broadcasters in communities across the country."
