FCC No!

The Senate heard the voices of the people--even though the Republican Chairman of the FCC, Kevin Martin (the boyish looking chap in the middle between the Democratic Commissioners at left and the Republican Commissioners at right), did his best to silence them. The Senate vetoed the FCC's ruling to give big corporate media the edge over local, independent media outlets. Yay!

But don't cheer just yet: victory is not quite ours. Now it now goes to the House. Will the House follow the Senate's suit? Here's your chance to tell them that you think they should!
