Squish the likes of Bill Kristol, Rove, Murdoch and all their loony colleagues! We need help from all over the world! We need to take a stand against Newscorp/Fox in this country!


Dear All,

Exciting news! It looks like our campaign to stop Rupert Murdoch taking control of BSkyB might be on the verge of a massive breakthrough.

Tens of thousands of us signed the petition telling Vince Cable to stand up to Murdoch's power grab. Now the BBC has revealed leaked documents. They show that even Vince's own advisers are now telling him he mustn't let the deal go through.

This is huge progress - but we need to act together fast to stop Rupert Murdoch fighting back.

Public pressure has pushed Vince this far- a huge public letter will make it much more likely he now stands his ground. Please can you add your name to the huge open letter telling Vince to hold firm? We'll be presenting it to him next week.

It's out in the open now that Vince Cable is thinking about making a stand. That means Rupert Murdoch's army of lawyers and lobbyists will be all over Vince in the next few days, putting him under pressure to wave the deal through.

We have to make sure that Vince doesn't lose his nerve. We need to carry him towards the right decision on a tidal wave of people power.

Murdoch might be able to put the pressure on behind closed doors. But there's no way thousands of ordinary people will be signing any of his letters. A letter signed by thousands of us will remind Vince public opinion is on our side, not Murdoch's.

Together, 38 Degrees members have proved it is possible to challenge the Murdoch media empire. During the election, we called out the scaremongering and bias in the Murdoch-owned press. We fought back at attacks on the BBC, and saved 6 Music. Now, we're getting closer to a people-powered win over Murdoch.

Please click here to sign our letter of support to Vince - it will be daunting for him to take on Murdoch, but he's far more likely to do it if he knows he's got thousands of us behind him:
