Stop the FCC

by Loley Friday, May. 09, 2003 at 1:56 PM

On June 2, the Federal Communications Commission is planning on authorizing sweeping changes to the American news media.

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 in asking Congress and the FCC to support a diverse, competitive media landscape by going to:

http://www.moveon.org/stopthefcc/

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.

To Whom It may concern:
Please do not pass any laws that take away the diverse and competitiveness of the media. One company should not control what information the public should or should not receive.


Thank you

Please do not allow a monopoly to occur by voting on June 2/03 in favor of continuing a diverse source of media information. This is the democaratic way and you should preserve this rather than creating a monopoly.
