LPFM Bill Nears House Vote?
source: R&R Online

The House Commerce Committee, led by Rep. Billy Tauzin, has set a Thursday hearing on Rep. Mike Oxley's anti-LPFM "Radio Preservation Act" with the idea of moving the legislation out to the House of Representatives for a full vote. The bill already has 136 House signatures. "Billy is committed to moving this legislation out to the House floor," Tauzin spokesman Ken Johnson tells R&R ONLINE. "It's time to send a message to the FCC and hit the FCC upside the head with a baseball bat. Sometimes you wave a stick in from of a stubborn mule's face, sometimes you hit him upside the head."

(Oxley's 'Radio Preservation Act' now has 146 signatures.)

Note: If memory serves us well, wasn't the reason for the FCC's action on LPFM due to great PUBLIC demand? They only acted because they were ASKED to do so. Like all good public servants.
