Media Ownership Petition

Media Ownership Petition

mediareform.net has asked us to pass on the following petition - please consider signing on

Because millions of Americans took the time to petition their legislators and the FCC, Congress is now on the brink of overturning the media ownership rule changes.

The FCC decision was a blatant power grab by media industry lobbyists and their pro-business Washington allies. Big Media lobbyists are now making a full-court press to keep the new rules and expand media monopolies.

Together we can stop them.

Please go to: http://www.mediareform.net/petition. It only takes a minute.

If we can get 1 million signatures demanding a rollback of the new rules, Congress will be forced to act in the public interest.

This is a new petition. We need everyone to sign it now, including those who signed previous FCC petitions. Please send this alert to your friends, family, colleagues and email lists. A self-governing and free society requires an open, fair, and representative media system with the widest possible dissemination of diverse, local, and independent information and ideas. Whether Congress legislates to overturn the new FCC rules, passes a resolution nullifying the FCC action, or votes for a spending bill that accomplishes the same result, the public demands - indeed our democracy demands - a total rollback of the June 2 rule change.
