- July 22 - This afternoon is a critical moment in the effort to roll back the FCC media ownership rules. Tonight, the House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 2799, which includes an attempt to roll back the national television ownership cap, one of the controversial new rules approved by the FCC on June 2.
A move is underway to greatly expand the measure. Congressmembers Maurice Hinchey (D.-N.Y.) and David Price (D.-N.C.) will introduce an amendment to restore the crucial newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership ban.
ACTION: Call your member of Congress immediately and ask them to support the Hinchey-Price amendment to H.R. 2799 to restore the newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership ban.
