here is yr less whimsical, less i-heart-the-world homework assignment (but you should still go to the park!):
On June 2nd, the FCC let giant media companies get even bigger, despite overwhelming opposition from the American public. But June 2nd ignited a movement to take that power back, and June 19 is the next big day in the fight, as legislation reversing several FCC rules will come before the Senate Commerce Committee.
The legislation up for a vote in Committee is S.1046, and it would overturn some of the most egregious parts of the FCC rule change.� This bipartisan bill would keep a single company from owning broadcast outlets that reach more than 35% of American households (as opposed to 45% post-rule-change). A crucial amendment sponsored by Senators Dorgan and Snowe would keep newspapers and TV stations from merging.
Two minutes of your time will make the difference: Please take action now.
