We’re starting summer early by turning up the heat on corporate media. Today, the StopBigMedia.com Coalition is launching an extraordinary series of actions that will gather momentum over the coming months.

Our goal: stop conglomerates like Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. from controlling media in our communities.

We scored an amazing victory two weeks ago when the Senate voted overwhelmingly to reject the Federal Communications Commission’s latest handout of local outlets to Big Media. Our senators heard the more than a quarter-million activists who contacted Washington.

Now, the fight has moved to the House, where we’re building support for a similar resolution.

Tell Your Representative: Turn Up the Heat Against Big Media
Start now by clicking on the above link and urging your representative to support the bipartisan «Resolution of Disapproval» (H.J. Res. 79). A victory in the House is possible only with massive public participation.
Taking this fast action is just the beginning. Over the summer, activists from every corner of the country will be delivering thousands of these letters to their representatives’ doorsteps. We’ll also schedule «in-district meetings» between citizens and their members while Congress is in recess and representatives are home to hear from their constituents.

By taking action now you’ll get our summer campaign started early:
Take Action Now: Stop Big Media in the House
Over the past year, activists like you have been urging Congress to stop runaway consolidation. Now we’re taking it to the next level — meeting face-to-face with our elected leaders and making certain that they stand with us against Big Media.

Turn up the summer heat by taking action today!
Thank you,
