• Fixing areas of policies, rules and regulations around how non-commercial FM radio stations are grant funded through various areas of the "shadow government" against how U.S. Small Business Administration classifies these broadcasters. There are massive imbalances of grant funding appropriations for present day needs with this side of the industry. Since the industry is severely broken based on "real facts/statistics" reported to Federal Communications Commission (FCC), a badly needed waiver/update to 47 C.F.R. 73.853 as a "life preserver" to impacted broadcasters. The FCC will see a massive return of non-commercial broadcast FM licenses with an already similar established pattern from 2000-2020.

It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.
