Dear friend, On June 2, the Federal Communications
Commission is planning on authorizing sweeping changes
to the American news media. The rules change could
allow your local TV stations, newspaper, radio
stations, and cable provider to all be owned by one
company. NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox could have the same
corporate parent. The resulting concentration of
ownership could be deeply destructive to our
democracy. Congress is supposed to guard against
monopoly power. But the upcoming rule change could
change the landscape for all media and usher in an era
in which a few corporations control your access to
news and entertainment. Please join me in asking
Congress and the FCC to support a diverse, competitive
media landscape by going to:

You can also automatically have your comments publicly
filed at the FCC. When the folks at MoveOn.org talk to
Congresspeople about this issue, the response is
usually the same: "We only hear from media lobbyists
on this. It seems like my constituents aren't very
concerned with this issue." A few thousand emails
could permanently change that perception. Please join
this critical campaign, and let Congress know you
care. Thanks.
