Stop Big Media! *Time Sensitive* NVR
Sign the petition!
Freepress.net announces:
in the Congress, powerful US Senators from both parties berated FCC Chairman Kevin Martin about his plans to open the floodgates of media consolidation across America on December 18th. And Martin didn't flinch.
It's easy to stand firm when you're a Bush operative with the backing of the White House and a seven digit paycheck waiting for you when you quit your job.
Opposition to media titans like Rupert Murdoch buying up more media is a reaction to the pathetic state of the journalism and entertainment. To drive home the point, Free Press launched a 3-minute "Junk Media" video to sound the alarm, and rally opposition to the December 18th vote.
Last time Bush & Co. tried this, nearly 3 million people - from the left and right - rose up and said no.
They're doing it again at www.stopbigmedia.com.

Oh yeah! This is bull sh*t of the stinkiest kind! FCC Pres. Kevin J. Martin or "Douch Bag" for short should be ashamedofr his actions! This situation reminds me of what is happening with the FDA--letting people from the meat and dairy indrustries be the ones who "regulate" and "insure quality" in those same areas. Isn't it illeagal to have such obvious conflicts of interest? *grrr* I hope enough interest is generated to stop this media hand out from happening!
Thanks for signing the petition!
I tried to sign, but apparently Illinois senators are co-sponsors, so I sent them a thank you note instead (per the site).
thanks, capture!
done! and i think i might steal your paragraph up top to post on myspace and get some more people going (but you'll probably see it b/c i think you're my friend on there ;))
this country makes me hurt sometime :'(
Thanks meggs and macie! And steal away--that was the press release anyways, so it's not like I wrote it :)
