The Senate Commerce Committee is voting tomorrow on whether or not to recind the June 2 F.C.C. giveaway to Big Media. This is an unprecedented opportunity to participate, go over to Ruminate This where Lisa English has all the details on how you can participate. It will only take two minutes. The petition Lisa asks us all to sign will be walked over to the Senate Commerce Committee tomorrow before the vote.

According to Eli Pariser of Moveon.org, "This bipartisan bill would keep a single company from owning broadcast outlets that reach more than 35% of American households (as opposed to 45% post-rule-change). A crucial amendment sponsored by Senators Dorgan and Snowe would keep newspapers and TV stations from merging."
