Kevin Martin, George Bush's hand-picked FCC Chair, is trying to ram through new rules which would further consolidate media ownership and give big media even more power.

Under the Martin-Bush plan, markets from across the country would be vulnerable to a complete media monopoly. As big media takes over more and more of the media, there will be fewer local voices and less local programming and accountability for the people making decisions about our news.

Consolidation has helped a handful of corporate media chains to flood our radio waves with the angry and objectionable tirades that are a hallmark of right wing talk radio. Consolidation has decreased diversity in opinion and diversity in ownership.

The public only has been given a small window to file public comments objecting to this consolidation plan.

We need your help today to block this latest corporate assault on our media. Sign our petition to FCC Chair Martin, forward it to five friends and help protect the integrity of our media.
