New Years Glares

Stop Media Consolidation

It happened. Earlier this week, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin and his two fellow GOP commissioners approved new rules that will unleash a flood of media consolidation across America. The rules will further consolidate local media markets -- taking away independent voices in cities already woefully short on local news and investigative journalism.

In 2003, the FCC tried to do the same thing, but millions of people demanded that Congress reject the FCC's rules. And they did. It's time to do it again.

We need 100,000 people to get Congress to reverse the FCC's rules right now.

Sign an open letter to Congress to reverse the new FCC policy

Then ask three friends to do the same.

On this day

On Dec. 2, 1954, the Senate voted to condemn 
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, for "conduct that tends
to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute."
