    Kerry is disgusting.

    $4.50 gas, kids dying in a made-up war, the market in turmoil, jobs tanking, people going sick without insurances yet he has the time to thrice lobby the FCC for something fully out of his arena and jurisdication.... why?

    Nab Money. Pure and simple!

    Ask the Senators how much they received from the NAB over the last three years. These Senators are pond-scum on a good day.

    The best Government your Money can buy!

    People should stop giving Gino shit. After all millions of people have lost billions of dollars believing in Sirius and XM so far? ..who the hell knows that the future is. Did you or GM see 4.25 gas three years ago?

    Did 85% of American's hate Bush four years ago?

    WTF.

    I'd also like to point out that SI-XM pays 6-8% of their sales to performers while the NAB not only pays nothing but now argues that it should pay nothing now, or in the future.

    Here are the 12 Congressmen that are trying to pass a bill to get the NAB off the hook. Please contact them voicing your support for the RIAA and performers and most of all, remember them at election time.

    5/12/2008--Introduced.
    Declares that Congress should not impose any new performance fee, tax, royalty, or other charge relating to the public performance of sound recordings on a local radio station for broadcasting sound recordings over-the-air, or on any business for such public performance of sound recordings.

    Hey Gino.. I like your writing. Two questions for you since I'm sure we all agree that the dominate platform for satrad is in the car.

    How will internet radio work in rural America and how will I be able to listen to programming cross country ... or across my state?

    The last issue remains content and advertising. At least from my perspective, advertising and limited content will still be the bug-aboo to internet radio?

    Your thoughts?
