Federal Lawmaker, un-American legal work in 2018 from this nation’s capital jeopardizes the wealth of the nation. It’s an act entitled, “Music Modernization,” which, frankly, is a mind-numbing concept to start with. But that’s not the point.

I hope artists in music will understand that they need to take action to report anything un-American. They should post about this topic. They should write a book when they have enough real experience in being lied to and ripped off when it comes to selling their music.

There’s talk that music sales are down due to “the people” choosing streaming, but that’s a lie. Sales of CDs at concerts and vinyl records in stores are still so huge they could revert the national economy if they received some promotion money.  

No matter your political approach, you cannot erase the men and women who want America freedom.

Yet, these streaming companies who have already profited in the billions and billions of dollars from the Music Modernization Act don’t aren’t even asked to apologize. We cannot simply watch these companies steal from America’s artists in music.

The woeful “Modernization” act of 2018 enables Congress to help corporations steal the dreams away from our nation’s music and take over their lives—just like the California justice system enabled Britney Spear’s “death squad” to perpetrate slavery.

Our cities need financial support—not government takeover.

Please, federal lawmakers: make a new mindset for America in 2025 by cancelling this law that violates our nation’s founding papers.

Imagine the good that the descendants of Chuck Berry could be bringing to Saint Louis right now. If all the money stolen by streaming services from the Chuck Berry estate were restored, these people could really help the economy of that city.

Better housing and higher classes are only possible when stealing is brought to justice. Right now, stealing is perpetrated by streaming services through the Music Modernization Act—a filthy, fake law that never was put to the test of America’s voting constituency.
