Act Now: New Bill Could Stop Big Media
 
Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2007 10:29:29 -0600 (CST)

We did it!

A few weeks ago you urged Congress to hold the Federal
Communications Commission accountable to the public, and now
they're taking action.

Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), Trent Lott (R-Miss.) and several
other senators introduced groundbreaking, bipartisan legislation
that would hold the FCC accountable and put the people ahead of
Big Media.

Ask your Senator to cosponsor the Media Ownership Act of 2007
now!

This legislation would force the FCC to give the public a real
voice in this process, and it would make the agency address the
dismal state of female and minority ownership before changing
any rules to unleash more media concentration. As you know, FCC
Chairman Kevin Martin is trying to sneak through a massive
giveaway to Big Media before the Bush administration leaves
office.

We are pulling out all the stops on this one, and you will play
an important role. The FCC can't rule on media consolidation
without first listening to the public and addressing the lack of
diversity on our airwaves. Urge your senator to support this
important bill and push for more voices in the media.

The FCC may not want to listen to the public, but Congress will
hear us loud and clear.

Thank you for your continued efforts!
