FCC Rules to Allow Further Media Consolidation, Demand Congress Overturn!
Calling ALL DUers!!!

Hit www.stopbigmedia.com and sign the petition to demand Congress to overturn the latest Bush-appointed FCC attempt to allow further media consolidation.

The last time this crap happened more than 2 million concerned citizens from both sides of the isle inundated Congress w/ e-mail, calls, and faxes demanding Congress to overturn the insanity. It worked, and Congress derailed the FCC's plans ... until now.

It's time to derail them again.

GO TO www.stopbigmedia.com NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Keep kickin' this one up to the top. If you plan to sign the petition then please reply to this post.

This needs to be wildfire!

Let your friends know too ... regardless of their political bent.

2. They Pulled This Same Crap in 2005
Of all people, John McCain forced them to back down along with a variety of special interest groups ranging from People For the American Way to the NRA. Here's hoping a similar coalition rises again to demand this rule be repealed and then Martin outsted from the Commission.

This is definitely where the payoff to the corporate media by the booosh regime. By lifting this ban, it enables one company to dominate not just the broadcast airwaves, but also cable and the newspaper. It's fattening up people like Rupert Murdoch who could now purchase papers in other cities around the country without losing Fox TV stations or the merger of several large papers/broadcast groups in a larger strangelhold on the flow of information in this country.
