Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit AFM/Get Active Mailing List.The short explanation of this alert was: Ever since sound recordings were made part of copyright law in 1972, AFM has been trying to get a royalty for performers when music is played on over-the-air AM/FM radio. With the introduction today of the Performance Rights Act yesterday, our time has finally come to obtain a performance right in sound recordings. This will not be an easy fight. The broadcasters are very powerful. That's why I urge you to send the attached letter to your representatives in Congress so that they will know that a musician who is their constituent will be affected by this legislation. Please feel free to modify and personalize the letter. To learn more about the performance rights campaign, go to www.musicfirstcoalition.org. Thank you very much for your help.
