. Meanwhile the FCC is still sorting through the estimated 1200 current LPFM applications that have already been received.
The FCC has also been ordered to delay any new announcement for upcoming filing windows.
The third filing window which was to have been announced already,
was put on hold along with the remaining windows.
It's not known how many LPFM construction permits will be granted regardless of the NAB's and NPR's congressional move
to quell community radio.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia was slated to hear oral arguments
on November 28th in regards to a lawsuit the NAB brought against the FCC over LPFM.
The NAB has also said they may drop the suit depending on the outcome of the anti-LPFM legislation still pending in congress.
LPFM supporters should be writing letters to President Clinton asking him to Veto any appropriations bill that contains anti-LPFM
legislation.
Senators on the Commerce and Justice committee should also be contacted and urged to remove S3020 from the appropriations bill and give it due process.
Tell them they are not doing their job representing the people because they are too busy
listening to the soft money from lobbyists and large corporations.
You should ask your congressional representatives "Why" they are trying to protect the corporate interests instead of the publics.
Trent Lott should also be sent your letters and phone calls as he helped to
orchestrate sliding the anti-LPFM legislation through as a rider on the Commerce, State and Justice appropriations bill.
