>There was a significant victory in the Senate Commerce Committee
>Thursday, June 19, as it voted to overturn key elements of the
>corrupt FCC decision to loosen media ownership rules on June 2. It
>is due almost entirely to the massive outpouring of public comments
>-- hundreds of thousand in just the past week -- opposing the idea
>of letting fewer media companies own more and more media.

>where we will have to redouble our efforts to finish the job.

>1. clear and comprehensive background information on the issues involved
>2. a comprehensive collection of all news articles every day on the
>media ownership fight (and other media policy issues)
>3. updated reports (at least daily) from Capitol Hill insiders on
>exactly where matters stand with regard to the media ownership fight
>4. links to all the organized campaigns to tell members of Congress
>to represent the public interest, not the interests of massive
>corporate lobbies, when in come to media ownership rules.
>
>Again, thanks for your help. This victory shows that if we organize,
>we can win.
