No More Rupert Murdoch

Hi, For those of us who don't want a few big companies deciding what we
see, hear, and read in the news, it's a bad day.
The Bush-appointed FCC just voted to loosen media ownership rules so
media titans like Rupert Murdoch can swallow up more local news outlets.
They did this despite a huge public outcry--when the FCC asked for
public comments, 99% opposed media consolidation!

The last thing our democracy needs is fewer independent media voices
and more news outlets like FOX. Congress has the power to reverse this
rule change, and I just signed this petition asking Congress to do that.
This issue is very important. Can you join me at the link below?

Thanks!
