The giant foreign-owned record companies saw their business model fail in the digital age.

Now they want to tax radio stations to cover their losses.

Their performance tax would cripple local radio. Thousands could lose work and stations would suffer. Why? To fund a bailout for Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) companies based in Tokyo, Paris and London?

Don’t jeopardize free and local radio.
