09/08/2003 Entry: "FCC ruling..."

If you're concerned about a few big companies controlling our country's access to news, information, and entertainment, please join us in letting Congress know...

Later this week or early next week, the Senate will likely take up its last major vote on media reform, and it'll be very close. After a grassroots groundswell tipped the balance toward rolling back the FCC rule change that would allow greater media concentration, lobbyists from big media conglomerates have been working around the clock to tip it back.

On Wednesday, MoveOn.org will be holding a crucial press conference with Senator Dorgan (D-ND) and Senator Snowe (R-ME) and groups across the political spectrum to highlight the broad opposition to the FCC rule change. MoveOn needs to show that over 100,000 people have voiced their demand that the Senate vote to roll back the rule change. You can help us reach 100,000 signers by this Wednesday — join us in signing at:

Together, we can make sure that America's media is diverse, competitive, and balanced.

Thanks.
