Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 URGENT CAMPAIGN : PLEASE BLOCK THE NEW MEDIA OWNERSHIP RULES. Dear caring friends, Federal Communications Commission(FCC) Chairman Michael Powell rejected a request to delay the vote by a month at which the agency is expected to ease limits on media ownership. The FCC's review of the media ownership rules is being done largely behind closed doors in a highly " Secretive " manner. The new media ownership rules endanger our Democracy, Freedom of Speech and Competition . Members of the relevant committees - Commerce, Judiciary and Small Business - in Congress and the FCC must be flooded with PHONE CALLS, EMAILS, FAXES to block the New Media Ownership Rules as well as to urgently Reform the FCC . http://www.mediareform.net/why.php#corrupt http://www.mediareform.net/index.php Enclosed a SAMPLE LETTER and ALL CONTACT INFO for your references. Every Contact is important to reach. Thanks.

Your Name, Your City, Your State, and Your Zip code (US Constituents or US Voters if you live in US) Dear Senator , We urge you please immediately block the FCC Vote on New Media Ownership Rules which promotes the media monopoly. We urge you also to investigate possible conflict of interests between the FCC and the cooperate media conglomerate based on the fact that FCC Chairman Mr. Powell is insisting on hurrying the Vote on June 2 and blocking more of the Public Debates on such extremely important national issue. We also urge Congress to overhaul the entire FCC to stop letting their officials sabotage and infiltrate American's Democracy, Competition and Media Ownership Diversity. We urge you to stop this new plan which would end the critical safeguards designed to help ensure the Democracy and the diversity of media ownership. Under the FCC new plans, one company in a community will be able to own the newspaper, several TV and radio stations, the cable system, and the principal Internet access company. There will be even fewer owners of networks, stations, and newspapers nationwide. Millions of Americans will be even more brainwashed by the media propaganda and manipulated with incorrect, biased and often fake information provided by a very few media conglomerate. This kind of deregulation is anathema to anyone concerned with Democracy, Cultural Integrity and Competition. http://www.mediareform.net/why.php#corrupt Millions of Americans already have no voice and now will be even more threatened in their freedom of speech. Our Democracy is at the greatest Risk. Please block the New Media Ownership Rule and Reform the FCC now. Please do not dilute the Freedom of Speech with media's monopoly. Thank you .
