Important Petition to sign regarding Media Consolidation

http://www.commoncause.org/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?c=dkLNK1MQIwG&b=2118613

Media Consolidation





It's "take two" in our fight to preserve media ownership limits.



In 2003, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved sweeping new rules to permit big media to get even bigger. Under the rules approved by the FCC three years ago, one company would have been able to own up to three television stations, the local newspaper, the cable system and up to eight radio stations in one media market.

Tell the FCC: No More Media Consolidation

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is once again considering relaxing media ownership limits. (Learn more about this issue.)

Three years ago we won the fight against media consolidation -- but only after a major public outcry. Now the FCC is at it again, and we need YOU to speak up once more.

Send your message today. The FCC must hear from citizens about how media consolidation affects their lives and their communities. We're trying to send 25,000 letters in the next 14 days. Help us reach our goal and protect our media!

4. Unbelievable.
Just as bad, this means that even MORE media jobs would be lost. And this pisses me off on a personal level, as I have a Bachelor's degree in broadcasting and know just how hard it is to get a job in the media. You can bet your ass I'll sign this.

5. Done-this needs to be reposted every few hours for the next
couple weeks. We should be able to scrounge up that many many letters right here on DU, alone.
