Excerpted from a Common Cause e-mail;
The Bush Administration is threatening to veto legislation that would restore safeguards against further media consolidation. The Administration has warned Congress that, “If this amendment were contained in the final legislation presented to the President, his senior advisers would recommend that he veto the bill.”
We need to tell President Bush to listen to the American people, not to the media industry or his “senior advisors.”
We need your voice to offset the political clout of the media giants. Please sign the petition below and urge President Bush to listen to the concerns of the American people and support the efforts in Congress to rollback the FCC rules.
** TELL A FRIEND. Please share this alert with friends, family and other organizations. This is a word of mouth campaign and we need your help. Tell them to sign the petition.
