Make Big Media Feel the Heat

Posted May 28th, 2008 by Josh Stearns

We’re starting summer early by turning up the heat on corporate media. Today, the StopBigMedia.com Coalition is launching an extraordinary series of actions that will gather momentum over the coming months.

Our goal: stop conglomerates like Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. from controlling media in our communities.

We scored an amazing victory in May when the Senate voted overwhelmingly to reject the Federal Communications Commission’s latest handout to Big Media. Our senators heard the more than a quarter-million activists who contacted Washington. Now, the fight has moved to the House, where we’re building support for a similar resolution.

Tell Your Representative: Turn Up the Heat Against Big Media

Start now by clicking on the above link and urging your representative to support the bipartisan “Resolution of Disapproval” (H.J. Res. 79). A victory in the House is possible only with massive public participation. Taking this fast action is just the beginning. Over the summer, activists from every corner of the country will be leading a new wave of creative actions on and off line. Over the past year, activists like you have been urging Congress to stop runaway consolidation. Now we’re taking it to the next level.

Turn up the summer heat by taking action today!

UPDATE: Help jumpstart this campaign by telling five friends to take action.
