A bit of selfish activism

I'm a big fan of Pandora. Basically, the only way I'm going to listen to music at all is if I can get access to good music (not what's on the radio) for free (not sold in stores). Pandora has made that possible for me. Now the government is threatening to destroy that. An arbitration committee (heavily lobbied) has tripled the charges to Internet radio sites like Pandora, retroactive for the last year and a half. This would shut most of them down.

So, if you think it is valuable for me, Shannon Caroland, to listen to music, please visit this site and call your Senator/Congressperson to vote on the appropriate bills. Please, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Run DMC, Pedro the Lion, Johnny Cash, and Kirk Franklin, along with all my other favorite Internet Radio musician, beg you to think of ME!
