On that little matter of the FCC versus democracy. (easy link to previous post)
Here's another way to be heard; Consumer's Union has a petition you can sign online in support of H.R. 2052 and S. 1046, the two bills that will undo what Michael Powell and just two other Republican members of the FCC managed to pull off, in the face of massive grassroots opposition.
That opposition got us this opportunity to overturn the FCC ruling by law.
But it's going to be uphill all the way.
Remember that it was sometimes populist John McCain who signed off on that loopohole in the original 1996 media deregulation bill (yes, which Clinton signed) about the FCC needing to defend any regulations that limit big media's purchasing power to get even bigger, that allowed three people, who'd been unashamedly wined and dined by, and had multiple meetings with that same big media, to ignore the views some million citizens took the time to express to the commission.
