Tonight the United States Senate took a major step forward to ensure our media system in America does not become even more consolidated than it already is.

The Senate approved by voice vote a "Resolution of Disapproval" of the FCC's new media cross-ownership rules. These rules, if allowed to stand, would have allowed increased media consolidation from coast to coast.

Media consolidation hurts our democracy, and Common Cause has been fighting for this Resolution vigorously.

Now we move on to the House where we have another big fight. However, we want to thank all the members of Common Cause who contacted their Senator to support this Resolution. Of course, now we need you to contact your House member!
