Thanks for all you do. --The MoveOn.org Civic Action Team Subject: No more Rupert Murdoch!
Hi, 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! The last thing our democracy needs is fewer independent media voices and more news outlets like FOX. Congress has the power to reverse this rule change, and I just signed this petition asking Congress to do that. This issue is very important. Can you join me at the link below? http://civ.moveon.org/mediaconsolidation/?r_by=11826-3437772-nM.i_e <http://civ.moveon.org/mediaconsolidation/?r_by=11826-3437772-nM.i_e&rc=conf email> &rc=confemail P.S. After you tell your friends, you can also call your Senators and ask them to reverse the FCC's media consolidation rule. The Senate switchboard is 202-224-3121. Here's a sample message to send to your friends: Thanks!
