Congress: Stop Media Consolidation

For those of us who don't want a few big companies deciding what we see, hear, and read in the news, it's a bad day. The Bush-appointed FCC just voted to loosen media ownership rules so media titans like Rupert Murdoch can swallow up more local news outlets. They did this despite a huge public outcry--when the FCC asked for public comments, 99% opposed media consolidation!

Congress has the power to step in, and a bipartisan group of 26 Senators already announced they'll try. We need to show the rest of the Senate we want action.

Can you sign this petition asking Congress to reverse the FCC's media consolidation decision--and forward this email to a couple friends who would care about this issue?

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to your Senators and Representative.

Full petition text:
"Our democracy needs more independent voices in the media, not fewer. Congress must reverse the Federal Communications Commission decision allowing more corporate media consolidation."
