There is a massive bipartisan ground swell of public opposition
building against the attempt of the FCC chairman on accelerated
notice to sneak through the most devastating decimation of media
diversity ever. Multiple groups are mobilizing around this, including
more than 10,000 submissions to the FCC and your members of Congress
from our first alert on this last week.
Stop The FCC Action Page:
http://www.usalone.com/stop_media_consolidation.php
Facebook Action Page:
http://apps.facebook.com/fb_voices/action.php?qnum=pnum738
Though deliberately been rushed through to try to evade critical
analysis, it is now clear that the proposed rule changes would affect
every city and hamlet in every market, not just the 20 biggest as
deceptively advertised. It's nothing but a giant cave in to the media
moguls who have already degraded the public discourse with systematic
propaganda masquerading as news.
But the good news is that members of both sides of the aisle in
Congress are acting to stop this last minute bum rush, by bringing
forward the Media Ownership Act of 2007, to tell the FCC in no
uncertain terms, "Whoa horsey!" Please submit the action page above
so we can turn the tide on this eminently winnable struggle, just as
we did in 2003, turning back virtually the same attack by then FCC
chairman Powell.
We need to really pour it on. We need every voice we can muster to
tell our members of Congress we stand behind them as one on this, and
to tell the FCC that we the people unanimously oppose our media being
sold out to those who have sold the public interest so short.
We only have until December 11, to make our voices heard. Please
bring the weight of your personal comments to bear at this pivotal
time for the future of our public media. You can submit either of the
action pages above, the second being the new Facebook alternate
option.
OpedNews Brings Their Numbers To Join The Fight
Coming through in a major way in this mobilization is the entire
contributing writer staff at OpedNews, who have submitted seven
pieces on this policy crisis in the last couple days alone. The
articles below contain much insightful analysis and information, for
example the fact that FCC Chairman Martin has been nothing but a Bush
political hatchet man since day one, including a stint as a Bush
campaign attorney.
Please read and promote these articles of truth as well, on any
networks you participate in like Digg, Reddit and so on, to get the
word out that it's time for the people to be heard again.
