Update: Help the Senate Veto the FCC
Southern Oregonians of all stripes are supportive of more media. The consolidation and concentration of media power held by a few powerful corportations is an attack on our very democracy.

Yesterday the Senate introduced legislation that would reverse the
Federal Communications Commission's decision to let the nation's
largest media companies swallow up more local and independent news outlets.
Congress has just 60 legislative days to pass this bill! By acting
now, you can help make it happen.
Veto the FCC's Big Media Handout:

In December, 200,000 people called on their senators to take action
against the FCC. The Senate has responded with a "resolution of
disapproval, " a type of congressional veto that would throw out the
new rules. Now we need to get another 50,000 citizens on the record
supporting the Senate's action.
It's our turn to use our collective grassroots power to stop Big
Media and make sure that our airwaves are used to better serve the public.
Help build this Facebook group and help build the movement!
Onward,
