100 Days to Stop Big Media

Thanks to you, last month the Senate passed a critical bill that is the first step to stopping the FCC from letting Big Media get even bigger. Now the House must do the same.

Today we're launching a "100 Co-sponsors in 100 Days" drive. It's an all-out effort to get 100 House members to sign-on to the Resolution of Disapproval (H.J. Res. 79), which overturns the FCC’s giveaway to conglomerates. With your help this can happen before summer's end.

Sign the Petition and Help Launch the "100 Co-sponsors In 100 Days" Campaign Now!

Sign on to Help Us Get 100 Reps to Stop Big Media!

By taking action, you'll help unleash targeted pressure to make the resolution a "must-pass" item on the House agenda by the end of the summer. What does 100 members of Congress get us? It establishes a foundation of support in Congress, it shines a spotlight on media consolidation, and it sends a message to Big Media lobbyists that the people won't stand for any more junk media. Success will mean a vote for more diverse voices and perspectives on the airwaves, and more locally owned media. Here's how we'll do it:

  • mobilize supporters and activists in targeted districts around the country, and giving them the resources they need for success;
  • flood local Congressional offices with phone calls, faxes, e-mails, and in-person visits while members are home during the recess;
  • gain greater press coverage on the media ownership fight in the House and where local lawmakers stand; and
  • organize local events to increase public and political awareness of the veto resolution and its monumental importance.

With your support, we will work with communities across the country and take your message up to Capitol Hill, confronting the Big Media lobbyists on their turf.

Support the "100 in 100" drive. Help us Win the House Vote Now.

Together we helped thousands of people raise their voices and shout "ENOUGH!" to media consolidation. And Congress is finally getting the message. Now we need to harness this growing energy and focus it on the House of Representatives to win final passage of the FCC veto, and keep Big Media from gobbling up more local newspapers and television stations.

We're counting on you to make this effort a success.
