Subject: FCC Appointees Ignored the Public Outcry But Congress May Undo the Damage

A few weeks ago, we asked you to send emails to the five commissioners at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) asking them not to allow giant media conglomerates to control even more of the airwaves and newspapers. Members like you were part of the largest public outcry in the history of the FCC with commissioners receiving hundreds of thousands of messages opposing the plan. But these political appointees voted three to two along party lines to allow the corporate giants to control even more of what you see and hear.

Members of Congress are now considering ways to overturn the FCC's decision. The Senate is moving first with a meeting of the Commerce Committee on June 19 to discuss the problem. We need to encourage every member of the Senate to tell members of the committee to put out a strong bill to overturn the FCC's vote.

Tell your Senators to overturn the FCC's bad decision. Just click "Reply" and then "Send." Or click on the link below.
