Stop The FCC

Being a radio DJ, This is important to me:

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.

Take the advantage, before you're taken advantage of.
