Veto of Media Consolidation Rules Moving Forward

Tomorrow (Wednesday, April 2nd) the Senate Commerce Committee is expected to vote on the "Resolution of Disapproval" that North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan introduced last month (Senate Joint Resolution 28). With 19 bipartisan co-sponsors, including Alaska's Sen. Ted Stevens, the vice chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, the resolution has a good chance of passing.

Our friends at Free Press have summarized the current situation over on their blog.

We urge you to take action today to let your legislators know they should support this measure to prevent further consolidation of the media.

Please take action today at www.commoncause.org/LetsDoSomething.
