Model Senate letter re: FCC

A model letter to the your Senator, protesting media consolidation. Slashdot the vote!

Dear Senator _____________,

I am writing to urge you to reverse the Federal Communications Commission's June 2, 2003, ruling that relaxed ownership limits in local media. As conservative commentator William Safire wrote in the New York Times on June 16, this decision "opened the floodgates to a wave of media mergers that will further crush local diversity and concentrate the power to mold public opinion in the hands of ever-fewer giant corporations."
