-Caveat Lector-
Dear Kris,
Kevin Martin - the chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) - has
indicated that he wants to vote to loosen media ownership limits by early
December. But he's not saying exactly what the new rules would be. He wants
his agency to make this crucial decision behind closed doors, without public
input.
It's eerily similar to what happened in 2003, when the FCC voted in secret to
allow one company to control up to eight radio stations, three television
stations, the local newspaper and the cable system in a single city.
Tell Congress to rein in Kevin Martin!

In 2003, the courts threw out the FCC's flawed media ownership rules, in large
part because the public wasn't part of the process. But Kevin Martin hasn't
learned his lesson. He wants to lock the public out. That's not acceptable.
Common Cause members and other activists across the nation have sent hundreds
of thousands of comments to the FCC opposing media consolidation. Those
messages ought to mean something. But if Kevin Martin gets his way, he'll
disregard the public's voice and approve new rules without giving us any
opportunity to weigh in on the specifics.
Contact your Representative today. Ask him or her to tell the FCC to keep the
public in the loop!

If the FCC won't listen to the public, Congress can and should exercise its
oversight power. The media ownership rules govern how we get news and
information -- and that's especially important in an election year. Without
diverse sources of information, we can't have a healthy debate about our
nation's future, or a healthy democracy.
For the past three years, activists like you have held off a vote on rules that
would allow Big Media to get even bigger. Let's keep the pressure on. Tell
Congress to stand up for us.
Thanks for all you do for Common Cause.
Sincerely,
Bob Edgar
President, Common Cause
