Today the NAB launched the www.noperformancetax.org web site that will serve as a virtual advocacy center to help  defeat this threatening legislation. The site will enable both NAB members and the general public to spread campaign messages and reach members of Congress with new advocacy tools and features.

Through the site, you can:

• Download radio and TV spots
• Contact your representatives in Congress
• Update NAB on your interactions with Congress
• Share your stories
• Use social media to communicate to your audience

 

NAB is also providing TV spots on a satellite feed on Wednesday, 2/10/2010 and Thursday, 2/11/2010. The coordinates for the feed are listed below. You can also click here for the satellite feed information.

 

Visit www.noperformancetax.org to see the new site, and click on "Broadcaster Resources" to access all the tools you will need to oppose the performance tax. The Broadcaster Resources section is for members only, so you will need your station member ID in order to register. If you do not know your station member ID, please contact your station manager or membership@nab.org  so you can take part in this important campaign. You can also go to www.nab.org/memberID to access your membership ID.
