A Message From the ACM Executive Director, Sylvia Strobel:

Dear Friends:

As many of you have heard, we hope to see the CAP Act reintroduced in the House of Representatives in a matter of weeks, with support from both Democrats and Republicans. This legislation is critical for the sustainability of many public, educational and governmental cable channels. Members of Congress must hear from constituents regarding the CAP Act and its impact on community media - that means you, your members, and your viewers, supporters, partners and users of services.
