An Open Letter

To: Sen. Padilla, Rep. Gomez, Sen. Butler

From: A verified voter in Los Angeles, CA

April 29

I am writing as one of the over 80 million Americans that depend on AM radio stations for dependable news, traffic, sports, weather and vital emergency updates. Unlike satellite radio or streaming, local broadcast radio is always available with no cellular data, subscription or signal required. Despite this, some auto manufacturers have recently removed AM radio from their electric vehicle models. Numerous lawmakers, regulators and former FEMA administrators agree that AM radio is critical to ensuring information can reach the public during times of crisis. Taking AM radio out of cars will put Americans at risk. Because of the critical service AM radio provides, I am asking that you urge automakers to keep AM in all cars. Please support local radio stations and listeners like me by cosponsoring the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act ( S 1669 / HR 3413 )to preserve AM radio in all vehicles. Thanks!
